Excellent post. One thing I have experienced since my first post operative Oxycodone (1996 or 7?) Over time the pains and causes change. Different surgeries, different providers, different policies, different approaches to dealing with pain and who pays. At 72, it gets harder everyday to get off the recliner. My therapist is my age. Since the pandemic we talk on laptops. It's a waste of time but goes with the expectations of my pain management group. Over time where the worst pain comes from has changed. Currently it's my spine and shoulder. Shoulder needs replacement, I've been told. I just treasure a day with nothing to do. This morning I had a PSA recheck. One of the few things that hasn't been an issue yet. As I look out the back doors I see the backyard changing, leaves will be falling and I don't know if I can handle them anymore. Since I started this note my jaw began tightening and making crunching sounds when I move it. Oh well, it could be worse. I just wish we could opt out of political ads.
