Time to get wasted…

The music plays in my head when I see this Pute.

Good grief.

Have a good one dude! I'm cooked it's 10.25 and I'm watching a film shot in 70s New York with some woman reading letters in French over the top.

I'd have liked 70's New York, it reminds me of Birmingham on a Sunday morning in the 1990s.

Ah, the film is called "News From Home" - 1976 Chantal Akerman directed it.

Docs office just called xrays show calcified joints, arthritis, separation between this and that. What a mess so it sounds to be anyway.
Have always wondered why I feel like I do, wonder what the rest of me has to tell?
Just get me to 75 without a bunch of shit and I'll go quietly into the night.
70 will probably be more like it

Glad it's nothing important cant see orthopedist till mid January.
My bones are degenerating constantly, first my spine, about a foot of spine with bone grating on bone, arthritic with spurs. My spine has shifted to the side and at the top where your spine should face towards your throat mine wants to go straight up.
The surgeon I seen said there was no fixing it. The surgery would be dangerous and not likely to fix anything, based on previous surgeries. I was 60 years old and the doctor said I don't see this in men until they are usually in their 70s.
My good friend had the surgery over 40 staples up his back and neck. The infection he got almost killed him and the surgery did nothing to fix his issues. He fell of a ladder at work and broke bones in his feet but the jolt went up his spine and caused significant damage.

My clavicle was degenerating on one side and a couple of years back I had acute pain for 2 months on the other side of my shoulder. X-rays showed degeneration from moderate to severe.

You have to be tough to grow old, that's what my friend said.

Not positive how bad this is yet and is there a way to stop it.
I know the damage is done.
This isn't all the problem I'm afraid mris are gonna be the real tale. I'm certain most of what I'm feeling now are muscle tears and old scaring on ligaments and tendons.
Theyre saying my neuropathy is from my spine damage already, dont know how they know but I'd bet on it.

Surgery's are definitely out of the question, shots are temporary.
Im doing alright with pain control at the moment not using pharma pain killers,
still.

12 Reasons Why Reading Books Should Be Part of Your Life:

1. Knowledge Highway: Books offer a vast reservoir of knowledge on virtually any topic imaginable. Dive deep into history, science, philosophy, or explore new hobbies and interests.
2. Enhanced Vocabulary: Regular reading exposes you to a wider range of vocabulary, improving your communication skills and comprehension.
3. Memory Boost: Studies suggest that reading can help sharpen your memory and cognitive function, keeping your mind active and engaged.
4. Stress Reduction: Curling up with a good book can be a form of mental escape, offering a temporary reprieve from daily anxieties and a chance to unwind.
5. Improved Focus and Concentration: In today's fast-paced world filled with distractions, reading strengthens your ability to focus and concentrate for extended periods.
6. Empathy and Perspective: Stepping into the shoes of fictional characters allows you to develop empathy and gain a deeper understanding of different perspectives.
7. Enhanced Creativity: Reading exposes you to new ideas and thought processes, potentially sparking your own creativity and problem-solving skills.
8. Stronger Writing Skills: Immersing yourself in well-written prose can improve your writing style, sentence structure, and overall communication clarity.
9. Improved Sleep Quality: Swap screen time for a book before bed. The calming nature of reading can help you relax and unwind, promoting better sleep quality.

I was contemplating today that I'd like to reread Flowers For Algernon, a change from my usual adventure stories.

Hi Drippy:)

I hear ya, a person always heard if you have to work hard to get anywhere, maybe nowadays flakes have something here.
I wouldn't of done 75% of the shit I did if I knew this shit was gonna happen.
But I had fun isn't that what life is supposed to be.
Hows that go:
The idea of being put into the grave all neat and unbroken or sliding into it head first yelling what a fuckin trip.

Evening folks! Got Becca home. It's canned food for 2 weeks. At 1st, they told me $1700, but she quickly said, 'he's adjusting it now' so they got it down to $600. Pizza and trimming for dinner.

peace

I feel your pain OM. I am worn out…burnt the candle from both ends….
All them aches and pains didn't come about by sitting on our keister.

I learnt recently of another condition I have that is related to the Asbestosis, it's called Bendopnea.

If I want to find out why some of my finger tips tingle, feel numb and turn bluish purple, I need to go into the office for an examination. I do have a Jan. booking that was suppose to be for getting my personal cannabis production papers filled out but she said the Mrs. could bring them in and she would duplicate last years paperwork.

As they say Pute, "it is what it is."
Give Kevin and Gracie a little ear scratch for me.

My last cat had this funny little habit of...when he came into the room he would walk by my legs and use his tail to give me a, tail snap. I have not seen that behavior in any previous cats. I love and miss that big boy.

Our 16 year old female does the same thing. Both tapping with her tail or if I don't respond, by rubbing her head on my leg.
