. That was over 10 years ago ( 11/11/11 - a day that will live in infamy ) ,
since then i had 2 kids here , by accident.
one was “ adopted “ ( stolen - when her mother died of HiV) and the
other is 6 years of age living alone with me and with no mother . .
I have healt problems that I can’t even address here and always feel like i am dying .
I always worried about leaving this poor kid high and dry
but I watch youtube for help what I can do to help myself ..
i worry about getting the kid raised long enough to be able to help himself .
The hope now is to do that long enough so that he can help me ..


pS _ - sometimes i sit and think - sometimes i just sit .

I'm thinking around age 70 it's time to start growing up, and hopefully by the age of 80 I'll have some idea what I want to do with my life :beer3:

Actually want to still be alive after surgery tomorrow. If I’m lucky. If I don’t stroke out, have a heart attack or a million other things that could go wrong. And take 2 months to recover enough to drive.
You are a very positive person so you should be ok.
Feel like a split rotisseries chicken. Breathing tube out 2 days ago. Chest tubes out yesterday. With luck pacer wires out tomorrow. Recovery will be long and brutal and expensive.

what kind of surgery are you having?

No longer done like this through the tear duct,the modern day lobotomy is ECT/Electro Convulsive Therapy and done electronically,by sending electric shock waves into the brain to scramble the frontal lobes giving the same effect.

Stress of work abuse left me with severe multivessel coronary artery disease.

Now I gotta take care of me.

There will be months of recovery on disability, and payments to be taken out of the paycheck when I start working again. Cutting back on hours so 33% less income, also losing the extra overtime, more like 40% less.

The bills will be high and money will be tight. 5K for school tax, another 30K for property tax, income tax around the corner. Not even sure about the final hospital and rehab bill.

But I will escape on Halloween in miserable cold rainy weather. Must stay positive to make it to 80.
Haven’t told my parents yet.

Being you’re in texas this should not be any problem

I recommend dr. Willie. https://williesreserve.com/

And in my personal case I add pumpkin 🎃 seeds , they are amazing ( psychologically )
( found out thru youtube videos ) for me ..
[ they are supposed to work better tho ]


Good luck 👍
