[QUOTE="TheShadow, post: 15787012, member: 96669"] 2017, what a year. January - Doc says I need Lipitor due to a 15% blockage in left ventricular artery. I used to eat a YUUGE ribeye at least once a week. I don't (can't) eat red meat anymore, if I want to live. Only 54, btw. February - Knee pain (torn meniscus over 10 years ago but manageable up to now) is so intense that I fail to notice other major issues until they bite me in the ass. I don't take pain meds. Right foot (and left not far behind) has major issue with arthritis. Hallux rigidus is an affliction of the ball joint of the big toe. I am told that the only remedy is to fuse the joint. FML. Also February - The reason I visited the doctor for my foot is that I also have had issues with numbness and tingling in my other extremities. The neuro guys suggested I look into the foot more extensively, but I've now had 4 consults with surgeons who want to fuse my cervical spine from C2 through T1. That's a 7 level fusion, which will take around 8 months to recover, has an 80% effective success rate, and will leave me like a limited function bobble-head. I've already had experience with this sort of procedure, as I had a single level C4-C5 fusion performed in 1989. I will put this off as long as I can. I already can't do many of the things I used to though, so I guess I just need to prepare. Not terribly optimistic. Also February - As a side note, the docs advised me that my left mastoid bone (part of the skull) is filled with fluid. It's ordinarily air pockets. Haven't even followed this further and am not planning to. All year - Because I now have limited range of motion and ability, my business has suffered, so I'm not exactly making big coin like I once did. House may be in jeopardy. Yay. Thank God for my wife's insurance. I would not be insurable, individually. Also all year - We live near my parents, which makes us the local kids. Therefore responsible for checking up on Mom & Dad. The change in cognitive and memory function over the last 12 months is alarming. I majored in psych, so I guess this shouldn't be a big surprise. It's still different when it happens so close to you. Lastly, and perhaps, the absolute worst - The garbage fellows broke a bag whilst carrying it up my snow covered driveway. They cleaned up, but left a piece of cellophane from a lettuce wrapper in their wake. I had to clean that up all by myself. That is all. Goodbye 2017. You really won't be missed that much. [/QUOTE]
