On the other hand,... if you haven't worn yourself to frazzle by the time you die,... it seems like you wasted some of your gift...

LOL, well, my adopted granpa used to say work hard till you are 80 and then sit back and relax for your last 20 yrs, he lived to be 101.
I guess I worked a little too hard, when I was in the service and about 39yrs old I injured my back and the doctor told me at that time, I had already developed arthritis. He told me by the time I was an older person I would loose the cartlidge between my joints to the point that the bones would rub...i'm not looking forward to that either and was taking nutrients to attempt to build up that "liquid" in the joints.
I did question the use of 1000mg of calcium and 400mg of Vitamin D a day would cause an increased chance of heart attack, she said NO.... I kinda doubt that, but she's the doc (bout 25yrs my junior), I'll ask my oncology (cancer) doctor next month, see what he says.
Anyway, I didn't let my last hurdle slow me down...so this one isn't going to get me either.... I have gotten used to hitting the curve balls life has sent at me, i'll handle this one also.
