"Life is like a Box of Choklits"

To quote Forrest Gump's Mom: "Life is like a box of choklits - You never know what you're gonna get." The human body is like that,it's an amazing thing. I'm talking about the resiliency it possesses in regards to punishment., Last Wednesday I had a "Carpel Tunnel operation on my right wrist. Add that to the fact that I've have had or have had done to me the following: 1935 - Got hit be a car. It broke my left leg, left arm, left collar bone and pushed my upper jaw bone out of place. I also received a skull fracture and a brain concussion. The car that hit me was a 1934 Cadillac. (Woman drive) The bumper took my leg and arm, the headlight took my collar bone and my head. That was in July, I think and I was in the hospital until Christmas Eve. I had a body cast on for 14 weeks. In 1936 I had another brain concussion from a fall. That one about took me but my Dad administrated to me and I'm sure it saved my life. I had all of the childhood diseases - Clicked Pox, Measles, Whooping Cough, and Scarlet Fever. Never got the Mumps. Other than there normal cuts, bruises and blisters, a couple of bouts with the Flu and Pneumonia, nothing happened throughout my teens and young adulthood. However in 1972 I broke both bones in my right wrist from falling out of a ski chair lift while teaching my two youngest sons how to ski. But that's another story. In 1962 I became a Type 1 Diabetic. I have been Insulin dependant since the beginning, taking one to five Insulin injections per day. Due to the Diabetes and my stubbornness in not observing a healthy diet, I have no teeth, bad eyesight and have had eight of my ten toes amputated. From my Mom's side of the family, I have Arthritis, miner though it may be, it has caused me some pain. I've had three neck operations to remove pressure on my Spinal Column that was making my arms go numb and lower back surgery to relieve pain in my legs. My last five vertebrae - L1 through L5, are tied together with Titanium rods and screws. Last but not least, in 1993 I had a Quad Bypass Heart operation. I'd never had a heart attack; the heart condition was discovered by a Stress Test. The good news is that my heart is strong, my kidneys and liver continue to function 100% and I am still mobile and able to do anything I want. So, bring on th "choklits" I still have a lot of living to do.
