Good morning seniors. Long weekend in Vic and no work today. Gilly--re your post 816-----stay off the blaardy ladder. How many times do you have to be told! ~~~waves to the other seniors..............Richo.

She never does as she's told Richo, she's a stubborn gerrie :^O

Morning all 🙂

Well painful back is holding me back a bit at present.  Had to have Xrays on it and found that over the years my right hip has come up half an inch, my spine has a bit of a curve, one of the vertebrae doesn't have a disc and there is arthritis!!!!

Now, I ask you... is this fair???? 😮

I have over the years done, by necessity, a lot of heavy work and I expect this is what has caused it, but by golly, somewhere recently it found the straw that broke the camel's back and caused mine to give up too.

The chiro can only do so much to ease the muscles which is more than the doctors can do as they are not into muscle relief, only 'correcting' what can't be fixed.

I asked him if the doctors would do anything and his answer (he is also a doctor) is "No they would have to send you away"

So... I'm still as young as I feel co04, but sort of sore at present 🙂

Ah well, such is life - and I haven't been on any ladders Richo :^O

morning all.

worth a watch

sorry to hear that darki....isn't it fascinating, living inside this shell we call a body, and watching it slowly disintergrate?????

disintegrate?

Good morning all:-)

Darki, I sympathise with you re your back pain. I have had problems since I was a baby.

Have had a lot of pain all my life, but now it is really bad, I had a CT scan done on my spine a few weeks back, and the results were not good.

The base of my spine is very, very thin and the facet joints have just about worn away, plus have arthritis.

So, this getting old, where bones ache and also muscles hurt, sucks in my opinion.

OH rubs rapid gel into my back that helps & so do the pain killers.

So yeah, we are all falling to bits.:-(

aint that the truth purple:|

As to your suggestion Darki that a 35 year old advances would be more welcome at 20 instead of a 50 year old?   No...he never attracted me at all...but we had good time...He took me to the Artists and Models Ball once..that was fun.

speaking of that....

Does anyone remember the Trocadero????where all the Balls were held? and the bands played  Glen Miller hits at the end?

sighhhhhh   what fun
