Hello Wayne - 

CA>> One day I should tell you about trying to wash the cat
CA>> here recently. Funny story. 

WC> I never got to that advanced a martial art ;-) Good thing
WC> you aren't a hemophiliac or you would have bled out ;-) 

Seriously the
cat was going to bite me then changed
her mind but I did feel the fangs touch my skin. She isn't
stupid and I appreciated her 'second thoughts' on that matter.
:-)

WC> Too bad, when first I saw you posting here somehow I had
WC> the idea you were young and healthy. 

Depends how you define "young and healthy" and how long ago. My
shoulder injuries were only maybe 6 years ago, not sure really.
Before the accident I could lift my teenaged sons (either one)
over my head. Used to do it to show off occasionally. I know,
shame-shame but men do show off once in awhile. :-) 

I've had two more AMIs in the past year or so. Doctors seem to
feel it takes six months to recover from one of those but heart
muscle dies each time and cannot replace itself. :-\ 

WC>> Recently as 1995 I had a broken ankle, called it my
WC>> "walking break."

CA>> That particular type of injury can develop into "Charcot's
CA>> ankle" and they would amputate your foot to save your
CA>> life. You made a wrong decision and survived the mistake. 

WC> Well I _do_ dislike hospitals and doctors but the reason it
WC> largely didn't concern me was the chronic spinal pain. Were
WC> I to have been forcably carried to the hospital I would
WC> have refused treatment and taken the consequences and been
WC> out of pain once and for all. 

I think, if I remember correctly, Charcot's Ankle is quite
painful. 

WC>> Thought I was bad at 6 days a week 11 hours a day, you've
WC>> got me beat. Hard physical work and I recall some days
WC>> sitting at the front of the plant at the end of the day my
WC>> eyes closed and ears ringing for a few before driving the
WC>> motorcycle home. 7 years at that place. 

CA>> I had shooting pain that seemed to travel within my bones
CA>> that would run up and down my body from lack of sleep and
CA>> have to get in the car and go back to work. I had six
CA>> children and a non-working stay at home wife to feed. 

WC> Whoa, that's a seriously heavy load! Never had kids by
WC> intent, good thing as it turned out. 

I really really enjoyed the kids (and the two wives that
produced them). I was the custodial parent in both divorces and
all six stayed with me.

WC>> Diabetes does not run in the family though. 

CA>> A few diabetics on both maternal and paternal sides of the
CA>> family but I was only really overweight for 3 years of my
CA>> life and that was 5 or more years ago. Seems to help to
CA>> not be overweight. 

WC> My weight has been gradually coming back down. I was under
WC> my ideal weight a couple of years back. 

I have trouble keeping my weight up normally. I have no idea
how I managed to add 50 pounds but I lost 40 of it in six
months without any special dieting.

CA>> Sister just put her 20 year old tomcat to sleep. They
CA>> found him paralyzed on the kitchen floor. 

--8<--cut 

WC> As long as my dog remains happy and without significant
WC> pain I'm holding on. 

I was trying to cheer up my brother who liked her cat by
telling him it would be dangerous for me to fall asleep on the
floor at her house. ;-)
