My health and energy level has taken a dive of late but I'm still getting better.

I've got aches and pains and chills and blains, Arthritis, Bursitis and more. If it weren't for this darn Sciatica, I'm sure it would hurt even more. I have dizzy spells, sometimes I hear bells, I see colors and floaters galore. Can't move my left shoulder, guess I'm getting older, I can't find a place that ain't sore. One thing keeps me going and that is just knowing, That it isn't all in my head. This pain is a blessing though fortitude testing, It's a sure sign I'm not dead...….. Yet

Yes, growing old is not for sissies. The fatigue is the worst part most of the time. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Humorous Judy … you are right. If you can feel the pain you're still living and that's a good thing in many ways - thanks Judy - Lindsay

I love the humour in your words, Judy. One of the best ways to counter aches and pains is to be positive. Keep smiling :) Blessings // paul

That last word was quite the humorous finishing touch, Judy. All MY problems stem from a doctor who got me sick on the stuff he had me take. I did not even need it!! I feel for ya, it sucks to have health issues. Love your cute attitude through it all.

I like the humour but also feel your pain. This getting older isn’t for the faint of heart. Thanks for your visit Alkas.
