I wish you well Providence, but I also hope you realize there is more to life than just work. Ignoring the things your body is telling you won't go on forever. At some point in time, all systems shut down without the proper maintenance. Take care of yourself. If not for you, do it for your family.

Ya feeling pretty useless today. Had a hard time showering, wife didn't even ask and came over and put my socks on me. ( Talk about embarrassing) I had a very hard time and had to drag with my right arm to empty the ash pan on the out door burner.

Got in to the family Dr tomorrow but will be nothing but recommend for test and another specialist I'm sure. So that's two days off work. But honestly it's going to be a lot more.
This goes from constant dual pain I can function with but don't like to incapacitating cramp/pain nearly drop me in my tracks with random minor movement.

Looked at the wood pile and it's getting low. Glad I started the boys running saws the last few years. Going to go through a lot of chains with them hitting the dirt though.

Age ? I had my stroke at 45. If that clot hadn't made it out of my heart, I would've been dead before I hit the floor. It was huge. Big enough that two months later , after all the very expensive clot busting drugs I had received in the ER and ICU, I still had a blood clot in the same chamber . It was found while checking it prior to a procedure to fix my poor , beat up heart.

Hearts are amazing ! Amazing bioelectric pumps . Until some electrical snafu turns it into a churn. Don't take them for granted.
