My wife has an X-ray like that. Taught for 30+ years, 4 surgeries later…Once they put that cage in, it stays! But, not gonna show you her X-ray. I have had ankle, knee, shoulder and hip replacements, but truly afraid of the back. Seen what she has to go through…hope this helps!

yeah, any surgery is painful sooner or later..my doctor told me to use up as much morphine as i wanted, and you had better believe i did. -

OK…one more pist. Retired at 49. Injured, no more police work. 50% pension didn’t pay the bills. Worked at being, for a short time, at being a sub teacher. Pay was so-so, but I knew I was gonna be arrested for choking the s..t out of a AH kid. Then executive protection, U.S. Marshals Service, then a P.I., until I turned 75, 5 years ago. Now, just trying to be the best I can be for my wife, who has put up with a LOT over the past 46 years.

i did not retire at 49, but into my 70's..........i just "miss" working, especially for "mad money"...and i get "mad" a lot.

for instance, the wife loves to play bingo, and as such she wins a lot......much of that money goes into a special savings account for christmas time, for the grand kids, and great grand kids.

she gives me a few dollars if i need something, but in all fairness, its hers

i want my "own" money

the SS and pension and other retirement monies go for the house expenses, car expenses, groceries, etc.

i want "my own money", and as such, i want to work for it.

Didn’t say I wanted to retire at 49, but that I had to. Funny thing about shootings. 2-3 years as a teacher, another 4 doing executive protection, 3-4 more as a Marshal and then working as a P.I. FWIW, in Kali, a P.I. Can protect a person, or do investigations. To protect property, have to have a PPO, private patrol operator’s license. Not what I wanted or needed…
