Morning everyone looks like some of us have the same weather, yesterday warm and windy, today cold and still. No worries mates, spring is just around the corner

 

Liked for the good morning, that weather swing stinks. Sunny but cooler for us today, still in the mid 60’s. Come on down

 

Good morning Blokes and Shelias
It's a bitter and windy 19° out there and barely getting about freezing today.

I feel like I'm on the upswing from whatever type of infectious crud that crawled into my lungs. Yesterday was bad, constantly wheezing and gasping for air and sinus draining. Muscinex, Rybotussin and Theraflu were my friends for the past 4 days.

 

Morning all

Stress and the corporate changes were too much and I wasn't enjoying the job so I retired. My wife was going to work until Medicare kicked in and then she had a lifetime stipend for supplemental insurance.

Then a month after I retired, she got laidoff. She lived off severance, then decided she enjoyed retirement and got retirement pay, then unemployment. She was afraid to retire and found she loves it.
Health insurance has been the only snag, it's costly but she has another 5 months and I have 10 more to Medicare.

It is so worth retirement if you have medical covered

My pension wasn't great but combined with SS it's enough

 

So. Now blind in left eye. Can't have caffeine. Walking with a walker.

 

I so sorry Bill. Prayers sent your way.

 

Sorry to hear this Bill , Thoughts and Prayers sent

 

Sorry this happened to you.

 

So sorry Bill

 

So sorry Bill.

 

Bill concur with the rest... wishing you well

 

Sorry to hear this Bill. Sending positive thoughts

 

sorry couldnt like that post....

hate to read it, but will be the asshat to ask:

is it gonna be permanent? OR is it a reaction to your meds?

 

Hard news. Good luck with whatever path she decides on.

 

Vision may be permanent. Caffiene and my BP med don't mix. I start PT in a few days. That may determine ability to walk.

 

Sorry to hear. You have my thoughts and prayers.

 

Will continue to pray. Don’t like that you are going through it, but glad you are getting PT as this is what we are fighting with our daughter’s physician about. Holding out hope that you will have a reversal on some or all of this.
