Hi all, I thought I would drop a line to let everyone know I was still alive. I have a new practitioner, a nurse practitioner. The doctor I was seeing decided to move to California. She is great! Very thorough, and I've had more testing done than I have ever had. She is big on preventive care. I hit a few rough spots. I had the laminectomy on my lower back, which went well. Now, there is stenosis in my neck and upper spine, which they want to fuse. I told them no, not unless things become very desperate. I did physical therapy for it, I still exercise to keep the muscles as strong as possible, and I am doing OK. Aside from that, most everything else is working pretty well for someone in his 60s. Who'd a thought I would ever see my 60s??? I'm still not allowed pain meds, but do well with the cannabis stuff. The salve I make does really work. Now, the specter of actually retiring is looming before me. It is funny how things like "retiring" always seemed in the distant future. I am trying to get my affairs in order to make it as easy a transition as I can. My plans are to finally retire in about four years, maybe. I am not sure I will ever fully retire. We'll see.

HUGS,

Mark

I understand your situation because I went through it as well. I am sure you will be able to cope as senior home care, which is known for its excellent services, can help you. I am sure that it is possible to find reasonably necessary facilities that you can take advantage of. When I was in your place, I found senior home care near me, and it helped me to see good results. That kind of support and care from experienced professionals has always helped me so that I can share that knowledge with you.
