Welp, I've officially gotten old.

Seen it’s been rather quiet here, I figure a new off the wall message might be helpful to break the silence, 😉

Anyway, on top of the many chronic pains, and the medicinally induced GERD thanks to the chronic pains and the paranoia over opioids (Yay, to being a guinea pig…👿 ). Now I get the old man stuff. A pulled muscle where I never knew a pulled muscle could be. Hairs, tickling the side of my nose…GROWING FROM INSIDE OF MY NOSE. Long hairs on the sides of my ears…“Look, Ma! I’m a linx” 🙄 .

Then there’s the brain drain…Hoo boy, the number of times I almost cut myself or have to be extremely…I mean extremely careful when using my power saws…Yeeeeeeesh!

And, to make this circus even more fun, I really really should see a doctor…And I have decided to just say screw it and go into deep debt…Me thinks the medicinally induced GERD has gone into a new phase. The first year was extreme dizziness, difficulty breathing, plastic smelling sweat, and bad chest pains. 2nd year, it got better, and the dizziness wasn’t that bad. Going on the third year now, and hoo boy, the discomfort I had in my belly just below my ribs (both sides) are now pains…Holy halibuts can they hurt. Then there’s some new pains in the middle of my back (New? Maybe? I don’t have a bloody clue…It’s hard to remember what’s old and what’s new…🤨 ). That’s not all, but that’s not the embarrassing stuff…Also, the plastic smelling sweat has come back pretty bloody strong, too. (And there goes a sharp stabbing pain just under my ribs about three inches from my right-most side…Yeesh).

Oh yeah, then there’s my lungs being used as a damn kidney…WTH is that all about? If I eat too much salt, tums, alka seltzer I’ll hack sodium/salt out of my lungs. Too much sugar? That’ll come hork up, too…Hell, I made some shrimp with some lemon juice and was hacking up citrus flavored phlegm…Holy Mother of Zeus…

On a good note, these new things have…erm…dulled? quieted? masked? the majority of my pains. So I’ve been able to cook & clean more. So…That’s…um…well…nice…I guess. 😶 …

Ok! That’s my message for the day…Now wasn’t that so much fun? “Not really, my belly hurts”, 🤣 🤣 🤣 And now I’m hungry…again…I miss spicy food…😢 and I miss being able to out eat my entire family…“Long live high metabolism”…
