Naw! Already been a couple of times today! Aggravated the sciatica a bit so, if it's all the same to you, I'll just sit here and suffer!  It is not our belief or disbelief that can make or unmake the fact. ~ Thomas Paine |

What really sucks (you probably picked up on this on another post) I had to take my elderly Father to the VAMC two weeks ago (visited him yesterday) for what may prove to be final stage Hospice and, if they called me right now, I'd have all I could do to answer the phone much less drive over there (over an hour away)!
Distance and time wise, that's not bad compared to some; I know a lot of vets that have to travel 4-6 hours to get to their nearest clinic, much less Med Center, but I honestly doubt that I could even get in the van! This TRULY sux! He's in good hands (mostly), but they ain't family! It is not our belief or disbelief that can make or unmake the fact. ~ Thomas Paine |

Reoccuring fracture? In Boot, I discovered that I had a stress fracture in my right leg, but not until I completely let go as a break during a long session in "the pit." Followed that up with Achillies-tendonitis in the right ankle, and then got it in the left while in the field in Korea while in the FMF! Bad weather still makes all of that flare up (built-in barometer), but I consider them "BTDT" badges!  Might as well, they ain't gonna go away if I complain, will they?

K.J. sorry about your dad big guy.
It sounds like this gettin' old stuff ain't for wimps don't it. When I run down the list of what's wrong, I want to go out and hire some body to follow me around with a wheelbarrow and pick up what falls off and glue it back on later!! Sit back and conserve, that's about all you can do sciatica bites the big one my back is shot and that is ONE of the side effects from time to time. It is NOT fun!! You are now, officially, on my cares and concern list, as well as your dad. We will keep you both in our hearts and also in the forefront in our concerns. Be well friend, Take heart from the rest of your loving family.............Bruce, Laura, Carly. |

Life! The cycle goes on and the wheel comes around!
Too funny, and all too true! As children we fear pain so much that we yelp before anything happens, and with advancing age, we glance down to see our finger laying on the floor, sigh, pick it up and wonder: "Now where did I leave the Krazy-glue?"
I thank you my friend, but fortunately (or not) my wife has some pretty good pain-killers (Non-operable tumor (benign, fortunately) on a nerve bundle at mid-spine); I take one or two of those and, while the pain doesn't really go away, you can hit me with a 2x4 and I won't care a bit!

Ah, a time out thread, eh?
In the immortal words of Homer Simpson: "Crazy? Don't mind if I do...." "Blahrrersdhdfghlstjhgretwayisagasdhgspppptt" Ah! That was therapeutic. |

Something from Mad Magazine, circa 1972:
36-years later, and it still makes me smile! I just knew if I phrased the Google correctly, I'd find it again! It is not our belief or disbelief that can make or unmake the fact. ~ Thomas Paine |

With apologies to my fellow poster buddies, my time-out is sometimes called ‘meditation’ or even ‘prayer’… (I believe in “giving thanks” – it promotes serotonins and endorphins in the brain and makes you feel better and relaxed – try it sometime, it really works! You don’t have to direct it towards anything… just use it in your mind. Whiskey helps, too.)
Sometime I am very silent, starring off into space contemplating ‘nothing’. My wife will ask me, “Do you want to be alone?” I will continue to stare and answer, in all sincerity, “I am alone.” Peace, ahhh, the wonderful peace of a ‘mental time out’. One of my favorite cartoons is by Gahan Wilson (of Playboy mag. fame). There are three Buddhist monks sitting meditating, two young novices and a teacher. One of the young novices says “What’s next?” The teacher opens one eye and says “What do you mean, ‘What’s next?’ this is it!” |

I do thank you (and the others) for your kind thoughts and good intent! He's nearly 92 and has led a good life doing his best in all things; a better testimony to a life cannot be asked! He's at peace with it as am I! It is not our belief or disbelief that can make or unmake the fact. ~ Thomas Paine |

If you are at peace then you are blessed..The ones leaving us are always more worried about us than they are themselves. We give them heart knowing we will be okay...It still hurts but we get through it...Peace stay with you! "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it."
