Retirement

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

You saw it here first. I think I have decided to retire next Sept 1, 2008. The only problem is that I have to figure out how to keep paying the bills after I no longer have a paycheck coming in. I will be making that number one priority over the next year. We may move, we may not, we haven’t decided yet. We’ll probably have to stay here for awhile, but will probably move somewhere else – someone where it’s not so crowded. We’ll see. These are just my thoughts for tonight.

It’s Over

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

It’s Monday night and I’m watching the best new show of the year: “The Big Bang Theory”. I went to the hospital today and had my “procedure”. I laid on my stomach and the doctor stuck 2 needles in my spine. He says: “Can you feel that?” and I yell “YEA”. He did that four times. Not fun but not the worse thing I’ve ever been through. My left leg was really weak and wouldn’t support my weight for about 30 minutes, but I’m better now and they said I should feel normal by morning. They said it takes about 3 days for the cordisone to get into my system, so we’ll see if this works and helps. I see my doctor next on Nov 5, so I have until then to see if it helps me walk.

Tomorrow is my birthday. I turn 65. The end is near.
