Hi Sherrie, I replied to your earlier message on my wall just underneath your post. I know this wall business can be confusing, it's not the first time I've wondered, do I reply to the message on my wall, or do I post a reply on the other person's wall, so I've chosen to just treat it like a regular forum thread rather than like an email going back and forth. Always saddened to hear about someone else's pain, seems like there's too much of it going around!

Yes, I've finally started my first round of retirement applications, both to the Office of Personnel Management and Social Security. I only hope it goes rapidly and smoothly, I am so ready to leave my job, I feel like it's literally killing me! Not sure whether injured people are drawn to the game or vice versa. I've met a lot of people here around my same age and everybody hurts. I've been diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease, I've gone through 3 spinal surgeries and like you, it's not going to get better. I'm happy to say that the shots seem to be helping! Too bad it only lasts about 3 months if I'm lucky.

Time for me to go do some visiting and gifting, so until next time, blarf, blarf - I'm never going to get the hang of this puppy-speak, so I'll speak some koala - did you hear it? Wait, I'll say it again - how about now? Oh well.🐨
