True dat.
4 lower back surgeries, neuropathy in my feet and legs as a result; multiple eye surgeries, a hip surgery, elbow surgery (put it back together) right wrist broken off and screwed back on with 2 plates and 12 screws, ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis in my fingers from 30 years of keyboarding in I.T., inability to run and two bad shoulders needing surgery now to repair AC Joints and likely a left shoulder replacement.
At my age (60) all this just makes me meaner, more clear in my planning, more determined, knowledge of my own limits and my role in the coming battle. Make no mistake: there is a coming battle.
I'm completely good with that. A man's got to know his limitations and plan accordingly. Done.
IMO, shame on our generation for letting this happen. We need to take the lead on fixing it.
