I’ve just packaged the old door from out the back and taken it to the post office - should be there in about 6 months !

I won't be signing for that, mate! Return to sender 🚫

So so glad this had a happy ending!

Thanks, Brent! 😊 Me too!

Glad to hear you're feeling better - that was harrowing!

Sorry to report from further down the line, but buckle in - old age is more of this fight on various fronts. Not for cowards.

Thanks, Seth. I appreciate that.

And thanks for the forewarning 😅 I'm fastening my buckle!

Very relatable, Michael! Can't count how many times over the last few years strange, uncomfortable or painful things have occurred with my body only to have doctors to tell me everything is fine. That, at my age, I'm lucky to be so fit and healthy. (I'm not even that old, lol) I suppose that's great, but now I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm just mental. 🤷🏻‍♀️😬

Anyway, I'm glad you're doing better! And I absolutely loved that quote from your friend's letter.

Thanks very much, Gabrielle. Much appreciated. And I'm sorry to hear you can relate! Unfortunately so many people have stories like that, especially where they've been dismissed by medical professionals.

And yes, it's a great quote isn't it 👌

And now suddenly I want to try your grandpa’s method 🤔 sounds like something that would be approved in my family!

Michael Young's avatar

It's not the worst idea 🤷‍♂️ Could be the start of a new family tradition?

Sounds like a plan!

Love your work Michael! So very relatable. Very pleased to know that your back pain is better. The bed log should always get prime position in the hatchback on moving days!

Michael Young's avatar

Thanks very much, Joyce! Bed Log indeed gets a prime spot. We're up to about a thousand pillows now, so we've never been safer in our car. All that padding!

I sleep with a "Dutch pillow" which is great !!

Michael Young's avatar

Can't say I've heard of that one 🤔

My father started going bald in his 40's so he started standing on his head every day. Within months his hair started growing again and he threw away the "hair-piece" he had resorted to wearing.

Sounds like being upside was the cure for a lot of stuff back in the day!
