"Why do you fatigue so easily T-Bolt. You usually only run through a box of 50 on the range, and have whinged like a toddler about high round count classes."
I'm glad you asked that. I'm old. In my 50s. I am in desk-bound office shape and too damn fat. Plus the aches and pains from a youthful life doing things that were more strenuous than high round count pistol classes.
My off hand is impacted by cervical neuropathy (I didn't even know I HAD a cervix...). A couple month of physical therapy a couple years ago did the trick. I can take my hat off with that hand again. I still do the stretches. It's not 100 percent, and tires easily. I tired easily BEFORE all this.
And I have a new term this week. Retrolisthesis. The discs are ok, but that one vertebra, L3 where it meets L4, just sternward a bit. Probably into the spinal cord, causing my sciatica for the past 10 years and, more recently, numbness in my feet. That scared my a bit, the numbness. Coulda been Multiple Schlerosis, or, more likely, the Diabeetus. Not quite there yet. Need a few more donuts for that. Already in PT for the back issues. There is an MRI in my near future.
Man, growing old sucks. I heard it was bad, but didn't expect it to be like this.
But that's why I fatigue easily. All those. It's a negative impact on my quality of life.
Brain's ok, tho. No Biden-brain for me yet. I have come to the conclusion I should have been this wise and smart at 15 that I am at 50. Everything would have been much better.
If I was... I still wouldn't have known what I wanted to be when I grew up...
