Christmas presents for older people.

[JoyfulNoise]

I’m going to revisit it at my next checkup. It seemed at the time both my Drs were overjoyed that I was asking how to responsibly avoid painkillers.

*YES !!!*
*THAT’s how you do IT*
*Here’s a pillow case full of ibuprofins with unlimited refills*

Yeah, good options for pain management without the use of addictive narcotics is limited … plus, all the narcotic type meds make me super nauseous

i have told my kids, "once you hit 50, any pain you wake up with, you have to ask yourself, is this going to get better or one that i will need to live with forever"
off topic for christmas presents, unless a new pain is my present

And now back to the original topic! I received this.

Then I invented a custom PT program for my lower right side mashing the fun pedal.

I was about to say "what are you doing under the hood of my car?" but then I noticed blue among the dirt instead of white.

but then I noticed blue among the dirt

We have this thing here called ‘winter’ and it makes cleaning most of the car kinda pointless. If it isn’t sand and salt, We also have this stuff called ‘rain’ that makes a mess of everything.

But you are also very right, It’s due.

Yeah I don't even have an excuse for how overdue mine is lol.

You have me beat. Mine only has 2 pills in the AM and 4 in the PM

Ibuprofen 800 mg and a LIFESAVER for those of us working physical jobs. I have no idea why but they do so much better than four 200mg Advils. It takes longer to dissolve the single bigger pill, but not that much longer.

I do my best to limit the everyday use and only take 1 a day (1/4 of the max) when everything is cranky, like now because it’s cold.

I’m ‘at that age’ where the first thought on a Sunday full of yard work is the preemptive ibuprofen and not the chores.

OK, Maybe I didn't recognize it. I thought it was glucophage
