I hope that I can say the same when I am 82. Unfortunately, I have battled depression, but overcame it. I have a fairly high pain tolerance, don't take pain medicine if I can at all avoid it.

MDs over-give pain meds. I was sent home with some after I passed the last stone. My discomfort, I can't call it pain, was gone. Medicine by protocol is stupid. When I practiced medicine it wasn't like this. If pain meds a are taken, there is rebound when stopping. Thank you for your kind comments.
