It is depressing when I see where I was just 11 years ago and where I am now.
I look back and think, Whoa! ... How could it all go down hill that fast?!?
I just turned 59 years old this year, but with all this chronic pain, I feel so much older than that!
Funny thing is (not in a ha-ha sort of way), had I not experienced an on the job injury 6 years ago, I'd've never known I even had arthritis!
I just knew I was having some pain issues, but what it was 11 years ago, what it was 6 years ago, and what it is now is just ... Wow!
I'd love to make it to retirement but have started being pro-active about getting things in order in case I do end up disabled before then.
It really makes me sad because there were a few things I wanted to do when I retired, but not so sure I'm going to be able to them now.
