I haven't been here in a while, and this is because I haven't been anywhere in a while. Quite a while actually. I have SO many things to write about, and I am hopelessly behind, but I will try to catch up. First of all...where have I been??
Well, to the extent that anyone actually "missed" me, LOL!, I actually had to take a couple 'sick days' off. As some of you know, back in early 2021 I had complete reconstruction on my right shoulder, and the recovery was pretty devastating. (way worse than I thought). Right after I started to get back to normal my left hip started giving me problems from another mishap I'd been in. It got progressively worse to the point I haven't really been able to walk (at all) for much of 2022. I was hobbling around with a cane (barely), and pretty much just 'existing'...(i.e. eating and sleeping, punctuated by some online working). On top of all this, I had several other medical issues which were complicating getting anything fixed properly.
To make a really long story short(er), back in about Oct of 2021 I just about croaked from some blood clots in my lungs, and basically had to turn a page in my life and get serious about getting better. In the process, I quit smoking, quit drinking, lost 50 lbs. and tried to get into good enough health to get some things fixed once and for all. In the middle of May I had total hip replacement surgery. The surgery went well, and I'm recovering nicely from that. Along the way I have been able to correct a whole host of other problems (high BP, cholesterol, and a laundry list of other things).
Bottom line...I'm one tough SOB, BUT I completely underestimated how tough you have to be to get...OLD!! Gettin' old is a serious BITCH! It ain't for the weak, that's for damn sure!
SO anyway...the "New & Improved - FlyingClayDisk"...is BACK! (on Sale at discount stores everywhere, with 'Buy One Get One Free' offers galore! .and even Free Shipping, if you're one of the first 8 million callers!)
Right off the bat I have a couple of things I want to share, a couple stories. One of them is about "Dreams" (which I don't know where to put here), and the other is about "The Cloud".
I will post these stories elsewhere and won't bore you to unconsciousness with them here, but I just wanted to say, I'm glad to be back, and I look forward to participating more in the near future!
I'm just kidding with you brother. Its good to see you back and hope you getting better by the day. I enjoy your posts most of the time especially the scuba one you posted awhile back.
