Well, it's looking like it wasn't illegal or improper. BTW his drugstore was one of those family stores, from his father if not his grandfather, that eventually closed, like what started this thread.
Unrelated to weight -- in fact it was 45 years ago and my weight was fine -- but one day when traveling around the Netherlands, camping at the outdoor ice-skating rinks, I woke up in the morning and one foot hurt so bad I couldn't walk. I don't know why. I killed time in the tent as much as I could but it was my last full day and I didn't want to waste it. By 11, I took my towel and ripped out part of it to cushion my foot (though there wasn't much room in the shoe) and then I limped out for the day, while it hurt.
I don't know when it stopped hurting but the next morning everything was fine. I thought it would be worse.
On anoher occasion when I was in my 40's, I skidded on the ice and even with the seatbelt, my body slid under it and my knee broke the plastic lower dashboard. Next morning, I woke up and that knee wouldn't bend and wouldn't straighten. I'd think "Straighten" but nothing would happen. I could use my hands to straighen it so I could go to the bathroom and then I went back to bed and used my hands to bend it to the usual bed position. I poked at it everywhere and nowhere did it hurt at all but it wouldn't work. I think I stayed home that day and the next day everthing was fine.
You're not preaching. I asked.
I have some arthritis, fairly common as we get older. Due to changes in the household, I'm not as active as I was just weeks ago and I can feel it when I get up in the morning. We have a well equipped gym for use by residents in the community so I headed over this morning. It really felt good to do a little working out.
There is a bench for leg curls that I wanted to try and I watch another guy use it. Damn, not easy the way he had it set up. I moved the pin to set the weight between "sissy" and "girly man" and it worked well. I'll work my way up on that. Damn, I could lift more 30 years ago.
I get an emailwhen it is shipped and I have it next day. Stuff that needs to stay cool (like my wife's insulin" comes in an ice-pack. Last delivery took 2 days, and the cold packs were still solid. It is 100km away.
I think anyone over 45 can say the same!!! That said,I can still do most of what I could do at 40 - but man, do I PAY for it for a few days!!!!! My shoulders are actually better than they were 30 years ago - but my lower back is worse. My hands are the worst - with arthritis in my fingers.
Yeah, like the doctors they have a good trade union :) A compounding pharmacist is one thing, standing behind the counter transferring pills from big bottles to little bottles is something else.
I'm not saying there isn't a lot of background information in the materia medica but how much really gets used day to day. It's probably right up there with my mostly forgotten knowledge of differential equations.
The farmacia be on the corner down there, ese.
In DC it was more like Yo Bro, where da drug sto be at?.
