LyricaBob,
There are two choices in life. Fight, or give up. I'm 49, and truth be told, I don't expect a particularly long life. That doesn't mean I want to spend what time i do have with my head in the sand. My philosophy is that as long as you have something to contribute to society or even one other living being, its not time to quit.

Everyone has pain of some kind, be it physical or emotional. We deal with it as best we can and some days are just more difficult than others. One of these days the number and type of medications I take are going to meet up with other factors, the perfect storm so to speak, and that will be that, but until then, I agree. keep fighting. Sometimes I just need to vent.
