  4. I am not on any pain medication but I do take Xanax which is considered a controlled substance now. I have taken it for 8 years so I am addicted also. It keeps me at a normal place. It works and I know if i did stop taking I would not be able to do the things I can now. It works for me. maybe the pain medication is not the best thing for you and you need to detox. Find something else that will work. I just wanted to say I am in the same place. I do not like it but I am dependent on the Xanax to lead a normal life. I guess what I am trying to say is I understand. Terry
  5. Hopefully you feel better! Being sick for a few days can take a toll. And I do think you keep busy with all your church activities and in your community . And sometimes friend's are not that thoughtful. A good friend of mine lives about 11 hours away from me, he always wants me to visit but cannot seem to make the trip my way. Very frustrating sometimes, but friends are kinda like that. And enjoy that trip to England! Terry
  6. I liked the cruise. Got to meet allot of interesting people. Their is a forum on cruise critic and they have roll calls, I got to communicate with about 50 or so people. Once on the ship we all gathered at sail away. So throughout the ship during the week got to get to know a few, which was nice. And no I do not think all "smart" people are boneheads. The neurologist I was talking about, after he found out he treated me more like one of his patients and avoided me after that. And I also agree we can reduce our risk factors to decrease chronic illness. In a sense we are born with some of our "risk" factor's such as just are genetics are more prone to certain illnesses then other's.
  7. So when I went on the cruise in January I kept running in to this guy at the bar. ( Not that I hung out at the bar ) And we struck up some conversations. I even talked him into upgrading his drink package. Probably about the forth time I seen him we were talking and he said something about his life, divorce, his second wife chipped in and how he still had to work. ( He was 70) He did't have a hard life, could have passed off for 60ish. We were talking about our travels and I said something to the effect life is too short and to enjoy it. I said I had a life changing event and now I live every second to it's fullest. ( Something like that) Of course he asked what happened. I told my little buddy on the ship "I had a stroke". Well guess what…. he was a Neurologist. Asked me what I did wrong. Hmm…. I told him I was born. Just lucky. He gave me a few pointers. Watch my red meat, alcohol and left. The guy could not even remember his room card, when he was sitting with me at the bar!. Just amazing who you can run into. And yeah he was a bonehead! Terry

  10. It's been awhile since I have posted anything. Life has been too busy, needs to slow down a little. Everything is going well. We just got back from a Eastern Caribbean Cruise that went to San Juan, St Thomas, and St Maarten. The change in the weather was nice as we left Jan 10th and ended Jan 17th. I was in the 70's and 80's while back home it was terrible weather. Of course it was also nice the Buckeye's won the National championship. So some changes in the same ol' life. Only gained about 3 pounds so better then the average 1 pound a day that was what to be expected. Meet some interesting people and had a great time. I will get on a little more regular as I do like to keep in touch with all of you. Terry
  11. Sounds like you had a great time! We were there during rodeo days at Cheyenne then made the big loop to Grand Teton's and Yellowstone-Cody. That is some beautiful country!
