Another great piece of writing.

I sure hope you get rid of that whiplash pain! I had a bad one a few years ago but it did wear off and I'm past thinking about it all the time. In the meantime, take care! XO

Oh Dennis, this post is probably in the top one or two place of the top 87 since getting to read your ‘vocalizations’ each week or so.

Thank you for sharing your words and mind with us! And it’s okay to go easy.

I'm reminded a bit of those old Timex Torture Test TV ads from the 60's "It takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' ". You have been dealt a pretty lousy hand these three or so years but you maintain perspective on the whole thing. It's your sense of humor that helps you to overcome this...

Holy crap! It certainly does seem like you’ve had enough lessons in adversity for one lifetime. Glad you still have the use of your brain and fingers. One would think a list of how to live simply/minimally would have less than 22 items!

And every time you write about your lovable pup’s walking demands, my gratitude for my giant pit-mix’s relatively minimal needs. In fact, he could write a simpler list of how to live simply.

Glad the Canadian medical system deems you repairable.
