So, How Does Pfrog Pfeel About Turning 60 Today?

RE:  Chronic Pain & Aging ...

That's All I Have To Say About That!



*************

Seriously though, I'm of two minds about my health condition because I know it's gonna totally lay me out before it's all over with!

One part of me, the brave one, wants to continue to fight the battle until the bitter end.

The other part of me, the dispirited one, doesn't want to stick around to see the bitter end.

As I lit the candle on my Jumbo Birthday Cupcake yesterday evening, I found myself uttering this wish ...

Possible trigger:


I cannot even begin to explain what a relief that would be, but at the same time there's still a few things I'd like to do first so maybe my wish should be to be able to maintain the fortitude necessary to accomplish those things in spite of all the pain!

Pfrog, happy birthday!
FWIW, I have those very same fears and the same wish.

Thanks, y'all ...

And, it's worth a lot @lizardlady ...

It let's me know I'm not a pfreak, or alone, or wrong for being torn between the two.

Happy birthday Pfrog. I still have to wish you a happy birthday even though I know that you wish differently. Also FWIW , I feel the same way a lot.
What gets me the most though is seeing people, much older than I , still getting around , doing things and still SEEMINGLY enjoying life. Most are in their 80’s !
I’m thinking that there’s no way I’m going to live another 20 years like this !
I’m going to try and stick this out. There are some good moments during a day , I wish that they come into your day.
