I used to boast about my great health and never being in the hospital. Now I make jokes about how it used to be when I could see and hear. Its hard to stay in good spirits when you face troubling times and dont feel good. Medically this year has been the most troubling time in my life. Im thankful for my wife who shows unending patience and concern for my well being and has helped me through everything. I was telling a friend my 6000 good days are numbered and I feel my health dwindling. I have to make the most of everyday. Its important that I eat better, walk longer, exercise more and build my muscles for the times ahead. I dont want my golden years tarnished by the symbols like cains, walkers and chairs with wheels. Im going to refuse the handicap label, special license plates, wheelchair stickers and parking close to the door. Getting old doesnt have to mean giving up because Im a fighter. Im going to resist taking the easy way out. Ill park out with healthy people, walk more and carry my own load. Now excuse me, I have to get ready so I can get my work trailer unloaded... so I can go pickup more stuff to work with. Life isnt going to wait on me to feel better.
