9. I hear you!

In 2001, a gentleman on a cell phone changed my life. Being Irish by nature and nurture, I avoided surgery until a doctor from the gentleman's insurance company told me, "Kid, if you don't get that surgery very soon, you will be in a wheelchair wearing diapers." After much surgery, I was told that I would need even more within five years. Later for that noise! I have decided to never have any surgery for any reason ever again.

I'm satisfied being a "has been," or even a "never was." When I attend protest rallies, my friends recognize that I'm not able to walk far, or be on my feet for extended periods. It seems like in one's 40s, every old injury starts visiting one's body every now and then, despite not being welcome. In one's 50s, they move back in full-time. Then in one's 60s, they seem to want to evict you.
