Thanks @ezzyem for the benefit of your wisdom! Thank you for your service as an RN. I bet people loved you. I picked up a couple books yesterday because my adult son has mental illness and I had to go to the domestic violence clinic to serve a restraining order. He wasn’t physically violent, but the rants were disturbing the neighbors and getting very public in that exchange at the domestic violence clinic the director gave me a couple bucks and I in exchange gave her some. I think meaningful engagement is a critical component when we leave the workforce. I do feel anthropic work now that keeps me busy and it was such a pleasure to get into some new books last night and turn off the news. I’ve been on the Percocet for 25 years and it’s been very low-dose and very stable. They can’t get rid of the pain in my tailbone And it distracts me from living my life. So as much as I hate being dependent on something to live my life, I think the trade-off works really well. Sometimes I just can’t get out there and do the exercise that helps me without it. Sometimes the exercise can actually put me in more pain. It’s always a balancing act, eh? Also, another thing to mention is social groups. I especially like social groups with young people and people that are older than myself I am 68. I’ve always been that way. I like people who are different. I also don’t like small talk too much so I don’t go to parties and I find events or festivals that are art oriented or best. I love my dog. He’s a pain in the butt, but he makes me happy. I love relaxing. I think knowing what you really love and putting that into action--when it works out for you—and going gently on yourself when you’re not up to the challenge is important. I am very careful with medication and I hope to God that I am taking the right route for my life. My doctor and I evaluate things every year. But thank you for your concern. I appreciate it, best, Lori.
