rjxj: Hit the nail on the head! Retirement gives you the time to spend in Dr.s waiting rooms! No way could I afford spending that much time while working. The other advantage is that in retirement you have the time to reschedule camping trips that you had to cancel because of Dr. appointments.
On our third reschedule in two months because of test, appointments, follow-ups and the such. Feel so sorry for the DW, putting up with my mess. Trying to head to the Gulf coast, but most all spots are taken for the window we have available - gotta be back home for follow-up test, etc again. We can only plan short range now due to the medical hassles. But I agree, thank God for retirement! Working full time with the disadvantages we have now would be impossible to do anything. At least now there's always hope for tomorrow.
