@contentandwell I agree with tolerating pain. I don't mean screaming and crying because of pain, but that constant hurt and throbbing. I am just not going to let it get me down. I can't cure it, so I have to live with it. That's another thing about the Golden Years. People never tell you that as you age, you can expect many health inconveniences that you never thought of or even knew about before. I have a dear friend who always says that when she awakes in the mornings, she lies still and tries to figure out what doesn't hurt! We have laughed about that for a number of years. And as we figure it out, you are right. We do what we have to do.
