Hey all,
Anybody else been unable to funtion physically for a prolonged period of time???
How do you deal with it???
I'm on here occasionally, got prior-service issues and other things going on, always been a go-gitter, but been wiped out over a year plus, still recovery time ahead. Surgeries ain't been workin' out like I'd hoped, talk of totallin' me out, but my mind and spirit don't quit, though my body's killin' me...been a test of my marriage, still puttin' up with her, and she's still puttin' up with me, but I just can't hang with my share of the workload around the house, much less workin'. Kills me to see my wife haulin' up the firewood, hell it wasn't but two years ago I was still cuttin' em down, splittin' em, and etc. Now, can't hardly change oil in a car, matter of fact been sendin her to a damn jiffy lube type place.
This is crazy, I'm too young for all this, but I've suffered some multiple injuries, some neglected by active duty docs and VA, then finally got to a head and things gotta be fixed...
How do you old-timers deal with this??? Proud to serve, but I can barely hold my own any more...chores are stackin' up, I'll get better some day, but sometimes wonder...this is a tractor forum, w/farmers...you all know the deal...not lookin' for sympathy, but hard to stay strong some days...
Any words of encouragement would be nice, I guess if you feel the need to dog me out, go for it....
Take care, Holding my own
Still live in the best damn country ever, spite of the politics...:lol:
