I know some of you old guys have arthritis. I don't consider myself old yet, but I've got it too. Diagnosed in the spine, years ago (and, of course, they can't tell what type). Also got bad joints, but they always claim they can't find anything wrong with any of them. If they didn't always run the same test everytime, they might find something.
Anyway, for a long time, I've not been able to lift my arms up very high, straight out, or even straight up, and alway painful to even try. Today the kid's pups were trying to kill each other. By the way, got a deal for anyone - buy one pup, get 10 free. Go out, in stocking feet, to sort it out. Electric fence, suitable for cattle. Unhook the top wire so I can get in, bad hips too. So, sort it out, all the pups want to be petted. Sort of like being nibbled to death by baby ducks. Getting ready to leave, notice the top wire came loose. Use my handkerchief to pick it up and fasten it back. Wind up getting about 4 shocks. Finally got it hooked up, then back over the fence, and re-hook the top strand.
Get back in the house, and notice the right shoulder isn't bothering me. Check it out, and find out it has more mobility than it's had in probly 10 years. Pain-free. I'd gotten a shock with the left hand some weeks ago, and noticed the same thing, but had just figured it was nothing. Who knows? I may have made a medical breakthru here. I'm almost tempted to go out and purposly shock my left hand, almost. But, I'm sensitive to electric shock, and don't think so, not on purpose. Reason I unhooked the finse in the first place, I've got bad hips, and last time I went over the fence, screwed up, and got one leg between the wires. That's one way to really wake up.
Anyone else here had similar experiences?
It's funny as Hell, to go outside, and see a small herd of pups run up to the corner of the fence, then sit down, in a V shaped line, almost exactly a foot from the fence.
JOAT I will feel equality has arrived when we can elect to office women who are as unqualified as some of the men who are already there.
