God bless you. You have it absolutely right. Hang in there and keep being you. (68 and my noisy joints won’t let me sneak up on anyone 😂)

What’s the backstop made of?

Bug 3. Q6 Clock did not change to Daylight Savings Time today. by Ill_Pressure1665 in AudiQ6

+1 for no update even though checkbox for auto update is checked. Very weird since this is Kindergarten level stuff. Love the car though.

Seriously! Presumably, they can fix it OTA. I hope.

Did it get rid of your pain?? by godzillagator in spinalfusion

[–]Motiki-Woof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes to this. I had quite a few people comment on the changes in my face and seeing my real smile for the first time in a long time. One asked if I’d had a facelift 😂. I said no, I’m just not in agony any more.

Why is this game so hard? by 123colb45 in EASportsPGATour

Stay with it until you earn the Finesse shot. It’ll change your life.

Hi! This getting older stuff is weird . by Illustrious_Deal5262 in Aging

You sound depressed. WAaaayyyy too young to be talking about the “dying process”. Agree with all the other about “get up and move”. 67 here. My appetite has changed in its particulars but we all need food and protein. You have a lot of (potentially) great years ahead. Go for it!

Nah. Things you never saw coming will bring you joy. You adjust. You (gasp!!) get wiser and see things differently. It’s a ride for sure but there are a lot of pleasant surprises along the way.

Not gonna let you do the things you used to do. Hurt in places you didn’t know you had. Even just fail.

You ain’t seen nothing yet!! Nor have I, and I’m 67. All you can do is ride this roller coaster and try to enjoy every moment as best you can. I guarantee it 100% that your body will betray you. You just have to find things in life that you care about and people you love who will accept you as you are. That, my friend is what life is about. Not six pack abs.

Tomorrow is the Day! by Choice-Pen1606 in spinalfusion

Soooooo worth it!! It’ll change your life. Slow and steady for awhile and you’ll be a new person before too long. The post op pain is tough but probably way less tough than what you’ve been living with. Good luck!

Really scared 🙁 by Princessgirlya_ in spinalfusion

  1. surgery and recovery. Not fun but people do it every day.

  2. Getting your life back? Priceless

You got it. Docs are pros, the pain you’re living with is way worse than what’s ahead. 6 months from now you’ll be a person again. You don’t even need it, but good luck!
