Hi Lori I hope this reply finds you in good health, like me! So yes, I am in good health, all things considered. You mention in you post;
Quote from: LoriDee on April 16, 2024, 10:13:46 AMGlad to hear you are healthy. I'm sorry there are other issues, but as you said getting old sucks. I know what you mean about "being more cognizant" of the fact. I turn 67 this year. . . . .
I said in my post there were only two issues in regards to my health, the 'hip' problem, which stops me from being more active, except swimming of course and the other was my weeing problem, there were no other issues in regards to my current health. In the future other tests will be carried out on me like rats in the lab and will see if there are any other problems. I don't think so, I hope.

I have to provide a disclaimer here. I have been following American politics for the last 20 odd years and I tend to be conservative in my views both here in Australia as well in America. I don't know why I got interested in American politics. I think I do, but that is for another time and place.
So, to put it bluntly, I'm a Trump follower. Yes, I know the policy of 'republicans' in regards to 'transgender' issues are wrong.
On the other hand the Democrats, want to take your guns away which I totally disagree with and keep 'transgendered' rights which I agree with.
In my opinion and my opinion only, Trump should be the next president of the United States of America. I will now say for the time being and place, repeating what 'Forest Gump' said; "that's all I have got to say about that"
I know it sucks that the cost of surgery is prohibitive and I can feel the pain and anguish, that you and others that contemplate in having surgery, suffer from, when you cannot get that surgery. So as you so eloquently say "Embrace the suck. Keep moving forward.".
So come up with alternative plans that no matter what, one plan will succeed at least in getting what your heart desires.

Yeah, I'm in the bush so to speak and I have been getting a lot more sun these days. I have to be careful as I'm a 'Redhead' and I have freckles all over my body. If I go out in the sun for more than half an hour I will get sunburnt. I'm also taking a multi vitamin tablet which should also take care of that vitamin D level.
Take care, look after yourself and I wish all your dreams come true.
