59. That's a lot, even with your mostly clean living.

Pot is completely legal in Illinois. I don't use it because my youthful experiments with it came to a halt because it gave me terrible headaches. Not worth the pain. It's a great reliever of pain. I did try cannabis cream for my bad knees, but it didn't help. Shots of cortisone into the knee do help.

At least you've come through the latest healthcare crisis. Don't go for your second ambulance ride too soon.

I had surgery to fix a detached retina in early December. The retina specialist I see is happy with the eye's progress. Now I'm hoping that both eyes start working together adequately so that I can read books again. I did order a pair of reading glasses the other day to help myself along.

Take care of yourself!
