Body Parts
Return to DiscussionsBy all means this is not a woes me thing in the least. That said I have due to my career choice to have pressed myself in need of several body parts replacements required . Unfortunately NAPA does not stock those things. I know I am headed for the guillotineof bed ridden pain. I went through something of the sorts in 2014.
Luann arranged friends from our club to sit and mind me during the last time. It's different now with several of those friends relocating since. If someone that wasn't a nudist that happen to come in to say hi
she just explained it was easier to care for being naked. ( That girl can get away with anything :)
ISince so many of them have relocated worries me bit.
I know that you must be hurting to even mention it, the life of a real working man is often difficult. My few small trials at HVAC told me without a doubt that it is hard work. And, if you get a little unlucky, it can be even worse. A close relative fell and broke both feet and ankles, had major surgery to rebuild and was bedridden for months. Thats all I will disclose, but after many more months of recovery and rehab, he was again able to function in public. It was a long and arduous journey but he made it. Many others have done the same, I know you will too. Hang in there. John
Thanks all for your thoughts. I to this day am the happiest man no matter what is happening. One of my best friends who relocated some years ago I talked to her today and relayed the same message and she knows it to be true. I've been on vacation for 25 years with my Luann. So no there is no pity party here.
If I'm not sick and nauseated I get on here and want to keep in touch with y'all. Don't count the happy guy out just yet!
Two of our sons visited tonight and it's great to see how well they have launched. Our #2 son can't pop in being 1200 miles away. Not only is he successful in his career he took over the lead with our classic car enthusiasm. Dang that is a spendy undertaking!
Its really good to hear that; I feel the same way about my sweetie. Having a wonderful wife is the most important thing ever. Do take care of yourself, it sounds trite but most important. Figure out whats important and everything else can wait. Glad to hear the mention of the sons, having them move along really makes it worthwhile for all those days of football, baseball, soccer & waiting in the parking lot (@ 4AM) for the band to return. You know the drill. Keep us posted. John
I wanted to throw this out for good measure as it took me a while to figure it out. Theres always stuff to do in the yard whether it be limbs, grass, garden, gutters or fencing. It never ends. After finding myself worn out at days end too many times, I started experimenting with varying lengths of work hours. The short version is, for me, working steadily for a large portion of the morning, then a leisurely lunch and oddball single tasks for the afternoon leaves me functional & minimal back pain that evening. That in turn allows me to have another *honey-do* for the next day. Maybe this will help some folks out there but I at least wanted to pass along my experience. Any one else have a method they use?
My Honey Do List is mostly inside. Most of the outside stuff is just what I do. By the time I do that work, her list gets pushed back, at least the big stuff like finishing the bathroom remodel project that I started some years ago. When it gets warm like it is now, I come in the house for a glass of tea and find myself waking up to a sweating glass of tea and time to put away my tools I left out.
So much for working on the bathroom today.
I wanted to pass along this health tip for us older folks that have beaten up our joints. About 9 or 10 years ago, I started having a needle type sharp pain in my ankles; it was infrequent at first but became more frequent. Soon thereafter, the same type of experience moved to my knees and then later to my hip. As a person who has spent most of their working life on their feet, I had to start searching. Somehow, I came to the conclusion that shock was being transferred from my feet up as I walked around on concrete all day. Suspecting that a Dr visit would be $$$s & pills, I started looking for really good shoes. To make a short story of it, I found a shoe store that catered to a serious group of athletes. After a 60 mile drive to the store & a little professional evaluation, I purchased really good running shoes. It was a lot of $$$s but a lot less than a Dr visit. I still make an annual pilgrimage and the pain has never returned. Maybe this information can help some of my fellow seasoned citizens.
Through the years, I have consistently bought either the Brooks or Saucony brand of shoes in the style that best worked for me. The shoes will change a little bit from year to year it seems and usually takes some fitting time to get the best style. I will also purchase the insert (with different padding) on occasion to make up for my walking style. Get your feet checked on the weight distribution machine, too. I say walking but not very many folks keep up with my pace. Anyway, the combination of right styled shoe & insert has pretty much cured my foot / ankle / knee / hip problem. This whole combination usually costs about $140 to $185 but is well worth it. I get a new pair every year. My current shoe is the Brooks model ? Glycerin series 20 running shoe with an insert. Ill need a new pair in a couple of months. Dont buy the walking shoes, theyre just a cheaper made running shoe. I hope this helps. PS. My first pair of Saucony running shoes cost $40 in 1977 or 78. Its almost funny now!!
I am currently sitting here in the chair trying to recuperate from an few years old back injury that decided to recur. Its a real pain in the behind as I am able to not do much more than just sit. Did I just say *do more than sit*? It just gets really old quite quickly. I know I am not the only one to whom this has happened and slowly recovered. Its just the nothingness that is truly aggravating. So this is the question, *what did you do while recovering?*. Please feel free to post your ideas so the rest of us can be occupied & not go stir crazy. Thanking you in advance as my wife is threatening me with knitting. Ughhhh.
