Off topic - For sale: Fixer-upper body.

For sale: Fixer-upper body.

Well preserved classic available for quick sale to dedicated handyman. Electricals and plumbing ready for the touch of an artistic repairman looking for that special challenge. Current occupant is looking to down-size to more efficient model that requires less hands-on maintenance. Unit has been meticulously maintained at great cost to current occupant, full documentation and receipts available for inspection. Please refer to eBay number #*********.

----------------------

Some days, I'm only half joking about the above. Today is one of those days. Blood pressure and heart rate are all over the place, got the Mother of all Migraines, and I'm just making time 'till the meds kick in. I know my emotions will be much improved once my heart stops pounding, my blood pressure gets normal and I'm not in so much pain I'm on the verge of banging my head against a brick wall cuz it'll hurt _less_ !!!!

Thanx for listening to my vent. It helps to know you guys understand.

Mike

Yeah

it's a bugger when the old body won't work in the ways it is meant to. If I live to an old age, I will be in big trouble.

I get the heart thumping thing from time to time. Docs checked it and can't figure out what it is from. Just like they can't figure out why I have phases of wanting to pass out.

Life is never dull when your body/health is like an amusement park. I was going to say house of horror, but that is too self pitying. lol

How about a really bad foreign monster movie. It's so bad you wish it would just end, but then you realize it's the only show in town.

Personally -

I'm saving up for the world's first whole body transplant.

Like in the movies - put a collander with tons of alligator clips on my head and the other on say, Nicole Kidman or something similar.
Hit a button - presto chango...
