I was at the VA today for a checkup and one of my fellow veterans told me a good one.

He said that Pain is God's way of showing you your still alive. Had to laugh and told him that I am REALLY Alive!

Someone said that to me in regard to just regular old aches and pains of getting older.
I was compelled to reply..
" oh..shut up "
:-)

Wow! I didn't know I needed so many reminders!

I guess JC is right. They found my brain on the MRI, but it did not show if they found my mind! :(

WE won't even discuss that getting older part. I am counting backwards now. :)

Hi JC!

Yea, I just love it when people with minor aches and pains compares their "discomfort" and my pain. I always get a chuckle out of that.

I had a dr tell me after i told him how much pain i was in he said that's good that means your still alive. I had the same thing said to me! He went through the medical explanation about nerve pain and if you quit feeling the pain that your brain and everything shuts down. So I guess I am still alive thank goodness. lol. I liked your answer JC. You made me laugh. RJ I think my mind is gone too. The medical system stole it.lol
