Hell, it's already here. I need surgery on both shoulders. I have the same thing that kept my =younger= airline captain brother out of work for 10 months. When you can't raise your hand above shoulder level and 3/4 of your switches and other "stuff" is above your head, you're sorta SOL until things get fixed.  Lyle |

The set back from getting old is the replacement parts. Both hips last year put camping on hold for a few months, and next week the knee replacement will put things on hold for a few weeks.. I have reservations for mid june and a new camper sitting in the drive way... but wanted to get it done soon enough to make the August rally. At least my wife is still working from home for a while while this surgery takes place... I've retired when the hips went... Life is Good

As if Cigna, which has her Medicare contract, can't look up =why= she needs pain meds since they ask every damn time we pick them up. Hell, her oncologist prescribed extended release oxy and they need about 5 days' notice just to get them in. Turns out that she's the only one at that location that uses that stuff. Lyle |
