Oh yeah! Now where did that go?

I'm 64, retired. I keep very busy taking care of my farm. I think I'm pretty productive and energetic until I have a project that involves my 40-ish Sons. Then I realize how much I've slowed......

Your much younger than me and although being retired still I get out and help my Sons cut and stack firewood, mow fields and fix fencing. Yes they do most of it! Speed is not my thing now, poky is a better definition.

"where did it go?"... I think all the energy and pep available went into making the gray hair/beard I now have...lol Just turned 60 and broke my 5th metatarsal and found out on my second dr. visit that it is called a "Jones Fracture". named after the 1902 British MD that originally first wrote about it. I get one more visit in two weeks to see if it is any more healed. If not, the doc has to put a screw in it to hold it for healing. That should be a load of fun for an old man. Interesting youtube description. Jones Fracture,proximal fifth metatarsal - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim - YouTube

Actual operation video only about 4 minutes long. Jones Fracture, Percutaneous Screw Fixation by James R McWilliam, MD - YouTube

A lot of people have had this type of injury from sports etc. Just not at 60... :ashamed: One thing about youtube, there is every type of surgery imaginable on there....lol When I had to have the titanium plate put in my neck/discs fixed, I made the mistake of going and watching that surgery on there. Nope, shouldn't have looked. Terrorized me until I had the surgery.

I call it working "smarter". Make them think you've slowed down more than you have so they do most of the work. And get you a beer when they are done.
