I propose a thread honoring old age in which each person lists their current physical ailments and general excuses that prevent them from beating people like Paul Smith and Rich Saeger.
I will lead with a growing list of my own.
1. Shoulder pain
2. Heart palpatations
3. High cholesterol
4. Left hip stress fracture
5. Lower back pain (from shoveling snow!)
6. Wife and 3 kids.
Perhaps we can give an award to the winner and the biggest whiner at the end of this thread.

2)Dr. says my neck/shoulder/back pain is exacerbated by stress. That doesn't seem like it is going away! a) My daughter has a softball sized cyst/mass on her left ovary. I took her to have a CT scan today. I'm waiting on the results as I type! The doctor said she probably will need surgery. b)My husband has skin cancer on his face and had it removed this morning. He is so swollen and his eye is almost swollen shut! c)My mom had another bad fall and is very weak due to chronic pain and heart disease. It's really hard to watch her health go down. d)My dad won't take care of himself either!
That is a lot to go through and can be very stressful.
My oldest daughter has had 2 surgeries in the past year to remove cancerous growths. We're praying that it's gone. She's too young for this.
My wife and other daughter were in a car accident last spring and are still working towards recovery. My daughter just had surgery to repair damage in her wrist and during spring break will have knee surgery to repair a torn ACL.
These things can be very stressful and the stress affects every other aspect of our lives.
Beth, I wish you the best.
