If it's not one thing, it's another.

I've have all kinds of medical problems. It seems that when I cope with one thing another one comes along. I have a bad back, when that was sort of taken care of, then there was diabetes. When that was ok, I broke my dentures, which lead to dental surgery , and 6 mos. of dental appt.s. When that was done with- cataracts. The whole month of April was eye doctor appt.s and surgery. That's finally taken care of. Now, I have hemorrhoids. Apparently, I really "tee'ed off" the medical gods. I'm coping and happy, but it seems like it's one thing or another. Are you at the age when it's one thing or another?

I hope your luck changes fuzzybuddy. That sounds like a bad streak of luck
No! It’s ALL things at once.

oh yes! Same thing here. If it's not teeth, it's vascular. If it's not that it's prostate.
Everything is a product of our age. In some respects you could say it's normal/

Nope! I feel fine and have no issues in terms of pain or any other noticeable health issues but I have noticed in the past couple of years a considerable push from doctors I've seen to get blood tests then after the results I get referred to specialist Dr.for some 'maybe you have this issue'. That results in, CT Scans, MRI's and a bunch more exploratory medical escapades that never reveal whatever mysterious illness they think I might have.

I live in a place that has publicly funded health care so I expect that all these Dr.'s are merely bulking up their billings to the health care demi-gods. I'm now considering starting to refuse these 'exploratory' adventures in future unless I actually think I perhaps may have a problem.

It's sad I thought Dr's were supposed to actually care for us rather than be in a competition to see who can run up the biggest monthly invoice total

My brother had Huntington’s Disease. Other than that, we are all doing well. Huntington’s Disease is something no one wants.

I'm coping with life, and I'm not unhappy. It's things like you get a few extra bucks in the bank, and you think you're socking it away, then dish washer dies.

I'm really sorry.

I'm not there yet and wonder how it will be when I do get there. If ever. Being on my own, I wouldn't look forward to it.

I loved Gilda Radner and will never forget her. I wasn’t very old when she was on SNL. Hilarious, that’s for certain.

Differnt world we live in. Remember when we were young and our parents and grandparents complained. We are them now.
Not a bad idea to know where you are at physically. We are not young anymore and we have to face it.
