Ok. I have to think practical.
Limited mobility elimitates the general Lee and the Bach to the failure.
Low cars are also out eliminating magnum pi, Miami vice, Kitt and James bonds ride.
Too many modifications takes out mad max

And that leaves two.
A-Team van and Ecto 1.
The van has 1/3 of it's engine inside of the passenger compartment, sooo, I've gotta pass.
Put a trailer hitch on the Ecto 1 and me and the Boss Lady are set on quite a few road trips in the future.

I hate taking meds but I really hate worrying about having them. My pharmacy is very good about keeping me taken care of. They have an app that I have installed that confirm each drug is still active and later it shows when my fix is ready for pickup.

They text me all the time, Walmart for my prescription refills.
 
I think I'm pleased that the PEBA folks just changed the company. The letter that I received from the old company simply said that I would be disenrolled from the plan effective on January 1st. What they didn't say that the PEBA folks just changed to another company.
I was almost in a panic because some of my meds are over a couple thousand a month.
I was looking at the marketplace offerings and couldn't make heads or tails of them.
I'm ready glad that I don't have to navigate all that.
 
It's a yearly PITA for my wife. She has some expensive drugs that are dropped from her coverage each year and she is forced to shop. Fortunately, my son sold insurance for a couple of years...years ago. He has some insight and always helps his mother find a new drug plan. I had zero insurance beyond medicare when I had my heart attack. I was able to get an advantage plan that helped pay for my drugs. I was taken off the drug that had me bent over backwards within six months and everything I take now are tier one drugs that most everyone covers. I'm out of pocket 2 bucks a month for my meds. Lucky Ducky.
 
Speaking of, yeah going to the doctors for a full check up and my RX as well.. I wonder if my diabeties I exited out of my body yet? I am not so sure how does that work...
 
I have a bad knee and an okay knee.
Last Sunday I knelt down and then rose with a mild twist, a motion I do more than a hundred times a week. That time I felt something twinge, and it's been messed up all week.

This is the pic I took on Thursday.

I bet you'll have a great deal of difficulty discerning which knee is which...

Ouch my friend. With that much swelling, Dr olbriar thinks you put a tear in your meniscus and hope I'm wrong. Have you consulted with your doctor? That looks wicked!

Regrettably, there's no meniscus to tear, as it was removed about fifty years ago after I tore it. Now it's just full of arthritis and other junk. There's some bursitis and fluid, too. It's been debrided a couple of times over the year, and the ACL let go twenty years ago.

Basically my lease is up on that joint, so I'm shopping for a replacement. Not looking forward to the process, but I am looking forward to having it behind me, sometime in early 2026 I'd guess.

Happy Thanksgiving! :D
 
My sister has a knee replacement and so does my wife. My father had both of his knees done. I will say this, the procedure is no walk in the park and rehab is no fun at all. However, the aches and pains of the bad knees became a thing of the past. It might not always turn out to be a success story but four for four left me thinking that when the knee is shot and keeps a person in constant misery, a replacement is a great option. disclaimer... easy talk from someone not having knee problems.

I wish you luck on whatever you decide and hope that swelling subsides soon and quits hurting you.
