Pluggers by Rick McKee for June 20, 2024

Where am I? Who am I?

A very rare occurrence.

In the morning my fingers used to be all curled up and racked with pain. So I got special night-time gloves for that. Now in the morning my fingers are straight and ….. racked with pain.

Rise n shine. It picanic baskets stealing time!

I ache, therefore I am.

((Well, I’m back here … again, darn it.))

Part of the down side of older age … Pain on the bad days ;-(

I guess I must be lucky—-nothing hurts WHEN I wake up—no pains but………when I go to get out of bed, I occasionally have ‘a twinge’ somewhere but at least it leaves shortly after starting down the hallway for my ‘morning constitutional’ ! ! !

it’s no longer does something hurt but what and how much.

Boy Howdy!

Pain is reality. No pain is a dream.

It means it’s going to be a good day that will likely end badly because you will over do it.

Or still dreaming.

Jeez, is this one spot on. I slept through the night and nothing hurts? Where is Jesus?

Just about everything hurts. And whatever doesn’t hurt, doesn’t work.

At my age, just waking up checks the box for my biggest expectation of the day…..the rest is bonus.

Yes, you are.

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

Pluggers! They’re in pain all the time! Are they dying? No, but they sure wish they were!

My nephrologist won’t let me take Meloxicam. I hate him.

Heaven. Pure heaven.

No pain means you’re still stoned.

I find that days that I wake with "LESS’ pain ……. I get carried away and do more, then I should ……… and you guessed it ……. “MORE” pain for several days ……. Oh, well …… keeps life interesting ….. ;)

Upon waking I treat myself to various spot treatments of diclofenac (generic) which gets me going. Great stuff.

I can see that happening. . . .

“The only parts of my body that don’t hurt are the parts that don’t work.” ~~anon.

You think about going back to bed but know you will feel better after moving around for a few minutes.

“Is he alive or dead?Has he thoughts within his head?”

Pain is Life’s way of reminding you that you are still alive.

Since there’s no danger of that, you can be sure you’re still around.

I awaken to a sense of wonder. I wonder what’s going to pop when I move it.

Kneel to pray and give thanks to God for another day to work and play; and offer the pain as part of the price that Christ did pay.

If I wake up with no pain, I know that I’m only dreaming I’m awake. ;>)
