I have back problems and I attend a pain management clinic to help me continue to be as active and productive as possible. This is based on exercises and strategies, not pain relief drugs by the way.

They teach you to pace yourself. Go and do a little bit of the heavy work then some light work or take a break, then go back and do some more heavy stuff. Don't do too much in one day, there is always tomorrow.

They just always have to spoil it don't they . The last time that was said to me it was a very attractive nurse, who was removing some stiches (from me that is, not her sewing). I was just preparing to pull my stomach further in and discretely puff out my chest when she said the dreaded words,

"For your age ."

Well, it can work the other way too!

A specialist recently told me "Doug, you really need to be taking more care of yourself or you might not even make it to 45".

She could not work out why I was laughing, until I recovered myself enough to tell her I was already 53.

So that was pretty inspiring considering all teh health problems I am being treated for.

What a marvellous idea. You're a genius . I think I'll just reverse the numbers. That way I can age gracefully about ten years at a time. 26,36,46,56 and at 66 it will all come out even. It will buy a little time anyway.

I will stop this process at 66 as beyond that it becomes self defeating .

(Ern, when you reach sixty you may have to go on holiday for a couple of years because even the most gullible amongst the human race are not going to belive 6 or 16. In fact, if you are like me, you probably wouldn't want to revisit those years .

Gees Ern you are old. My brain still thinks I am 18 but the body reminds it otherwise.
