I haven’t written much this New Year.
Healing has been a process, I am not as resilient as I thought, then my post op visit told me why.
The scope was a little more evasive than first planned, but he should never have to go in again.
Now my knee is younger than me.
Knee 👍
Neck 👍
Brain 👍
Heart 👍
Upper GI 👍
Lower 👍
One step closer to immortality!
I had lunch with high school friends last week. The conversations were so different!
2 were comparing their heart attacks and stints and how they were card carrying now. I didn’t realize you had to carry a card after that.
Comparing prescriptions.
Exercise regimens
Retirement due to disabilities
What a change from times gone by!
I listened more than anything. I had nothing to add. I am fortunate I am healthy and don’t worry about high blood pressure or other issues.
One friend asked me if I had a deal with the devil that keeps me so “young” and looking like I did in high school.
I had to laugh, thank goodness eyesight is the first to go!
I so miss getting together like this. No matter what has changed in our lives, WE remain the same.
Friends that would drop anything to be by your side.
Friends that want nothing but your happiness.
The original Ride or Die friends.
It can be months of no contact then a text seems like it was just yesterday.
Friends that are there in body and soul.
I love you all.
Our next meeting will be sooner than later. And the conversation lighter.
We don’t know how much longer we will have each other.
I am looking forward to see these guys as old men playing with their great grand children with their wives by their side.
Having lunch to exchange pictures of family instead of medical info.
A brand new year to start fresh.
Enjoy loved ones.
Be healthy
And have an attitude of immortality.
Do it!
And love big!
