(3,571 posts)For me, it is more like, I have had a backache (lower back) for days now, and I don't know if I need a new bed, or if I need to quit drinking. Yeah yeah, I could go to the doctor, but they ALWAYS find something wrong at this age, and I prefer not.
As it stands now, I have not had a drink for days, and I've put a board on my (soft memory) mattress for a bit.
Getting old sucks.

(5,920 posts)I'm a 30 year nurse walking back and forth on concrete floors. I have to wear knee braces on both knees. I probably need replacements soon. But, who will take care of my disabled wife while I recover in a rehab facility?
I'm screwed.
