Amen. I can get it done, just need a minute to get my Giddy-up in gear.

Chris, who did you go to, to figure that out? i got some serious hurts.
can go see my Chiro guy pretty easy, the family Doc has a tight schedule.

I got MadHat & T-Rad to thank for being 102 years old - which is about how i feel today...

...
My regular vet diagnosed it by prodding and poking and generally making me want to kick him in the teeth!!Left his office hurting worse than when I went in!
My Spine-cracker straightened the vertabrae that had moved and then its just a few days bed rest so to speak.. I missed 4 days work last week, and its still sore and a little tender today. This gun belt is killing me, but nowheres near as bad as last week. I couldnt stand up or bend over and pull my boots on....this week i can dress myself, and it just feels sore, tho I aint nowheres ready to go out and wrestle with the horses or move hay bales !

Older but wiser

Hey,gettin old ain't too bad. Some things don't work in the old bod like they usta, but not bad. BP a little hi, cloresterol high, but all in all doin ok for 72. Not a grumpy old man yet, just old.
I can't throw a 70# bag of sand in the PU bed any more, but oh well.
Grand daughter is going to have an ice scating part for her birthday in a few weeks, I'll get out my old skates, still roller blade.
Was on daughters excersise bike, but not set up for my size so it was a bit tought to ride, only did a few minuits.
Go to the doctor and get checked up. I got a leaky heart valve but won't need a valve job. Comming to the point I'ss soon need a caterac removed. things can be fixed.
I'm looking forward to several more good years. Take care of your self.

what wife says - tell more folks NO and MEAN IT and don't wear your self out.

i like helping folks out, though.

went to chirocracker, he put the roll & twist on it, said it was pretty well out of align, much better now, just the muscle stiffness.

CH still high (FiverBob yells at me about that...)
BP not a problem

more grouchy than anything, i guess...everytime i help someone out, hurt myself.

I read a line somwhere that went something like: Life is NOT a trip to take sedatly, arriving at the end with well groomed hair and clean shirt, rather you shold slide into the grave one footed, in total disarray, saying "whoa, what a ride".....I know I have butchered that up, but maybe someone knows how its suppossed to go....

You got it real close..

The one I like is "I woke up on this side of the dirt, it's gonna be a good day!"

Learn to grow old gracefully and with peace, far too few people even get there.
Yeah, I have my aches and pains too.

I like the motrin that's shaped like M&M's. Easier to swallow 3-4 of them than one of the big horse pills.
