MRI Question

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Getting old is a b--ch! But it sure beats the alternatives.

It seems waking up in the morning some parts of me have gotten very comfortable the way they are and will put up a fight to the end if they are requested to move.

My father died of a heart attack on the floor of an oil rig in 1972 6 weeks before his 48th birthday. I am the oldest of 6 and still had 3 siblings in HS at the time. Now in my mid-70s, I am grateful that when I wake up with arthritic pain, I am still alive.

My father also died too soon, but he smoked and didn't really take care of his health. I've survived long past his death age.

[Incidently, very good thread. I've learned a lot about an MRI.]

My mother had 4 older brothers. They all died fairly young - unfiltered Camels all day long. She lived to be 92.

No one on either side of my family has ever made it to 80. I'm currently the oldest, and the number of candles required on the cake each year is making it really hard to stay optimistic.

Chronic TMB is a pretty relentless disease.
