Dave's daughter saved on burial costs, and it took off from there...

Yep. If you have to go the no sugar route, their diet is by far the best of the bunch.
Diet Dr. Pepper and me disagree.

My back, leg & hip surgery that was deemed 'elective' & put on hold due to this COVID scam "may be back in the works if you're still interested.."
After all the tests, after all the waiting, after all the hopes of getting out of this damned chair or relying on an awkward and cumbersome brace, am I still interested? The thing is, I'm suddenly as unsure as the first day it was brought up to me. It's a big risk, and though I'm not the type who just gives up or gives in there's that voice in the back reminding me I'm a dying man so what's the use. But then, I look out in the pasture & see Misty and the Buckskin & herd, and I want to ride again. With this surgery there're no guarantees I will, but without it there is one that I definitely won't..

Been there, done that, and rehomed the horses anyway. It hurts every time you have to add to the list of things you can no longer do. I have one ultimate serious piece of advice for you: watch the rehab carefully. Nursing/rehab centers are where old folks go to die in the current pandemic. I checked myself out of 2 AMA and rehabed myself at home.

You don't get to skip or postpone rehab. I was considered ready to leave the hospital when I could walk 40 feet with a walker and climb 3 steps. That was in March and I still can't lift a sack of feed without feeling like I'm tearing something. I lost 60 lbs and most of it was muscle. It's amazing how quickly your body can consume itself when you're down.

This was pretty much the "rehab" I got before sending home. At home I could walk about 100 feet before my vision closed in from the sides and greyed out and I had to sit down on the floor or ground. Later I burned out the radio in the truck turning it up loud enough to keep my brain from going "zombie".
Can't overstate the value of getting a GOOD doctor dedicated to "Quality of life". Dumped the 3 doctors they had me reporting to, got me off drugs no one knew who prescribed or why, got me on other "preferred", blood tests weekly, got my chemistry balanced out. I will die if I go off my drugs; another doctor tried something "improved" and I was in the ER 5 days later. Changed "systems" to get back to my other doctor. A GOOD doctor does research and gets back to you a few days later, show you trials, what helps or hurts.
If you don't think you're getting the treatment you need you have to dump 'em. These days you have to be your own health care advocate....

i was just trying to say that you need a good doctor AND a good rehab system before you under take a major surgery...my stepson is getting hip replacement and he has gone threw 2 doctors....and one rehab system...now he is satisfied with that end he needs to work on getting the rest of his system ready starting with his teeth....anyway...good luck no matter what...
