Hey girl , I got tired of checking and not seeing a post so I quit checking for a while. All I get done is going up and down the road to dialysis 3 times a week.I'm feeling a lot better. except for my back.sitting in a chair 4 hours a day 3 days a week just kills my back.The pain pills has all dried up and I can't do F2F because the doctor will see I'm on dialysis and refuse to give me my pain meds.I need my back and my knees operated on but I am waiting on my Medicare Part A & B to kick in.I still drink a few beers every once in a while.I get drunk a lot easier but theres not much to do around here.My son went to Garden City N.C. down by Myrtle Beach. Rented a 10 room condominium right on the beach for $2,500. And a golf cart to drive for $250 a week.There going deep sea fishing tomorrow.Theres 5 couples splitting the cost of all this so it doesn't break every body up.I hope your surgery goes great and you bounce back and can live without pain . I will close for now so you take care and keep me up to date. Love Ya. Ben .

Chaz , I don't know how you can drive straight through. I used to but I started falling asleep so I started getting a motel Just south of Atlanta.There's a nice little motel there with a bar right beside it so I didn't have to worry about a DUI. A couple beers and a good nights sleep made me fresh and energized the next morning.I appreciate your concern about my health but I just don't worry about it.My mama always taught me not to worry about things you have no control over.Other than my kids you are the only one I ever told about my condition.It makes you appreciate all the good things in your life.Money no longer rules your way of life .I only live day to day and week to week.Except for the 4 hours 3 times a week I pretty much do what I want to do. I can buy pain meds off the street as cheap as paying for F2F and drugs and shipping. The ROP's know that people are desperate and are raising their prices accordingly.I can no longer afford it.db.com VIP is so dead I quit paying them and now only frequent the free side.Sorry it took me so long to answer but I have been trying to help my youngest son clear a bunch of trees an get a dozer in and level it all up so he can build a garage next to his house. Of course I am paying for the most of it but I figured you can't take it with you so I will give it to him while I'm still alive.At least I know he didn't blow the money.Well you take care and let me know how you are doing. Love Ya Ben.
