Handicapped Youthfulness!

OK … What about you Seniors that have handicaps … Physical ones?
Do you think I have been hard nosed & inconsiderate by centering in on the Go Go Go? Let me hear from some of you.

I know for a fact that having crushed both of my heals into my ankles (One in 1956 and the other one in 1972) broke my back (L-2 in 1964), that it did slow me down for quite a while. Being 16 in 56 and 3 days after I was in a full leg cast (Broke the femur at the same time.) and dancing at a Jr Hi Dance put on by the VFW where I met the wife of my youth, The Lovely Marilyn. That did not slow me down, but the other leg & foot in 72 kept me off work for 6 months. It was the back that took the toll.

What I have learned in the last 11 years is that we will do what it takes at the time and pay the penalty soon after.
The wife has extreme Fibermyalgia, yet we will both Go & Go to take advantage of opportunities even tho she may spend 3 or 4 days in bed afterwards.
B U T we have not stopped living. I take a Darviset when I need to and get ready to do it again. BTW I only use an Rx when I have pushed the envelope.

OK enough about us and us living “In The Now” … “Paying The Piper” and savoring the experiences. What about you?

Do you think that you are to far gone to recap some of that ‘Youthfulness’? or maybe you have endured somethings that make our ailments look like a ‘Cake Walk’ and are doing even more than we do. Tell us about it. Come on I dare ya!

Looking forward to hearing from you, so that being something to write about next time. Be Blessed! DP
