And I want it over with.
February I had heart issues.  A fib.   Under control now.
April torn meniscus.   Surgery, still hurts when the weather changes.
June 1st I had a subarachnoid hemorrhage.   It's a bleeding stroke.  Several  bloodvessals on the back of my brain started bleeding.  Spent 4 days in the ICU and 6 more days in the hospital.  3 months rehabbing.  Was excited to get back to work.  I went back way to early.  2 months of migraines and double vision.   Sitting in a tree deer hunting was was painful.  I saw twice as many trees.  Thankfully the double vision is gone.  I shouldn't complain as over half of the people that have the same stroke as me die.
January covid
Today,  blood clots in my lower legs.  Holly hannah,  they are painful.
I'm only 53.  Thankfully I work for UPS and have the best insurance there is. 

One thing I have learned is that life is short and tomorrow isnt guaranteed.   Be happy and try to stay positive.

Dang dude.  I would say you could use a break.  Time to break out the salads and hit the treadmill for a while, worked for me and I have 10 on you!   :undecided:

Holy crap! Not fun. You're not wallowing in self pity like some do. They're goners. Keepin' on keepin' on. It's all any of us can do. It beats the alternative.  :happy1:

Wow. Sure hope things go better for a while. Makes my everyday aches and pains seem kind of puney.
I used to be cute and adorable. Then, I had my first birthday. Been downhill ever since.

One thing I've done is eliminate a few negative a$$holes from my life.  I'm also makeing a  conscious effort to be more positive and pay it forward.

Yes, lots more to do. Some of these issues limited your time in the trees. Hope you can make it out to my land more this fall. We saved a few big ones for you.

Thanks Deadeye,  hopefully I can help a lot more this year getting stands and trails prepped. That's always part of the fun.
