Paying in Pain

As young men we all think that we will live forever and are invincible, but as all old soldiers know there is a price to be paid for all those "fun" things we did in those foolish years.

My back is all smooshed together, compression fractures took me from five feet ten inches to five feet seven. So today, my back and kidneys are rocking and rolling, two oxycod 325s and I'm still getting complaints from my backside. Hope for some sleep my best refuge from the pain. Enough whining, I'm sounding like a puling sickbay ranger.

Baked a Tex-Mex Sheet cake for my dear wife, Bonnie, to carry to a party tomorrow. A true labor of love.

Drugs are kicking in and I'm going to sleep and tomorrow is another day.

Fayetteville, North Carolina got to 104 degrees, a new record high temperature. As long at the air conditioner keeps working life is good.
