Well, folks, I hesitated before writing this as I didn't want any of you to feel bad.
I'm one of the lucky ones! At 77, save for an occasional minor bout of gout in a big toe, if I were doing any better physically I would probably have to get a permit!
Unfortunately, my wife is at the other end of the spectrum. She is approaching 50 significant operations now and something is always hurting. I do understand and have a great deal of sympathy for her and all of you who are having problems.
Yeah, getting old is not for the weak and timid but still beats the alternative by a wide margin!
Best wishes to you all.
