While I appreciate the gesture, I’m pretty much a lost cause LOL! I do all the things you’re not supposed to do. I’m a heavy smoker, I drink way too much caffeine, I don’t exercise, and I don’t eat right. On top of that I’m old and have lots of aches and pains LOL!I don’t have a problem going to sleep, I have a problem staying asleep if I get five or six hours it’s a good night LOL! I toss and turn all night long and I wake up with something hurting and have to reposition and roll over and change positions all night long.

Preach it brother!
 
Guys, I am sorry about not posting and reading posts much lately. My mother in law spent two months in the hospital this fall/winter and hasn't really recovered … I think she is slowly giving up. It is not that we are spending time with her that keeps me from posting but that walking on concrete keeps my knees swollen and really painful. I get very hateful when in prolonged pain and tend to isolate myself because of that. All is good here, we are fine but the next few weeks are going to be rough on my knees and rougher on my attitude. I am just trying to keep my negative attitude in check around some really good people so I will mostly be lurking with occasional posts.

We understand, and are all here if you need someone to vent to! We all do at times!

I know and appreciate y'all for that. It really isn't about venting for me as much as it is a personality change. I go from a jackass trying to be funny that accidently oversteps lines to one that intentionally trying to hurt feelings miles past all decency boundaries. My primary care doctor has suggested I go to a pain clinic(a legit one, not pill mills) but I want nothing to do with opioids. I have never abused them, was in a VA pain clinic for six years and never missed a count or failed a piss test, but I have seen where it can lead and am terrified of them for a long term solution. Plus it limits having beer and we are on the edge of BBQ season.

I hope not. My left one is 14 years old and my right one is just two years old. I did fall a year ago and pinned both knees under me … it looked like I was kneeling on both knees and fell on my back with my knees under me … but when I called ortho at the VAMC the doctor entered one word in my medical record, inconsequential, and refused to see me for three weeks until the patient advocate got involved. I probably could benefit from some PT but I am stupidly refusing all treatment from the VA.
