When did age & wear hit you?

roughly 2-3 years after the accident, he did spiral down hill pretty bad...his wife left him and "took him to the cleaners", he got hooked on oxycontin hard and lost everything he had.
as of today, I still haven't seen him...I'm not even sure where he's living, if he's even still in the state. I've always believed the saying, "what goes around, comes around." :-)

I blew my back out working for my wife's cousin who I always thought of as a good guy.
3 months after the accident he tells me that he didn't have insurance on me and started denying that I got hurt on the job.
Long story short I got my degree out of the deal :lol:

yup, some people just straight up suck...no matter how well you think you know them.
since my accident...I really take caution who I trust now.
and over the past decade, I've let several friendships go, because I strongly felt as though they'd be too selfish to have my back if ever needed. I can count my true friends on one hand these days...and I don't even need the whole hand. :-)

Hi, please excuse the delayed responce but I'm a newbie. This caught my attention cause at 43 I can relate to your comments. Lots of people buy into the "I'm getting old so get used the pain" mentality. Dont believe it. From 40 to now, 43, I had a series of problems with cronic tendon pain(tendinitis) in elbow, shoulder and knee. One after the other. Doctors wanted to inject me with cortisone or even operate. The most helpful info I found explained that tendon weakness and trouble or very slow healing of tendons is a sign of the wrong diet. You get away with it when you're younger but thats what catches up with you, not what you've done in the past but what you're eating now. The modern diet is packed everywhere with sugar. Carbs are turned into sugars too. This constantly stressed the body as it tries to proccess all the sugars and makes it difficult for your body to heal tendons/ligaments. Ibuprofen (and all non-steriodal anti inflammatries) in your system adds to the chemical imbalance problem in the body, despite the temporary relief it may bring. I know there's a lot of different info on this topic from different sources and I'm not saying this is 100% correct, but when I acted on this info and starting eating less sugars and carbs and a bit more protien, my tendon problem dissapeared. For me a huge result because this problem was stopping me from riding dirt and now I'm back riding trails and track :)
Thanks, Lou.

I've never really had an issue with my weight. It just stayed steady, not really being affected by exercise of diet. As I passed forty, my weight started to inch up a bit. I read about the negative effects of sugar, so I gave it a try. I limited my sugar, no sugary drinks, snacks, or desserts. I've lost 15 pounds in a couple of weeks, and it's really easy. Plus I'm sleeping better and have more energy. And come to think of it, my knees feel better as well.
