I miss the adrenaline rush and some of the people I served with.

Nope.

Im not reading an entire thread when the system just emails me with the queation and I hit reply. If the issue was resolved then the original poster should delete the thread.

26, employed full time, no special needs. Time for little sissy lou to spread her wings and leave the nest! Good grief.

Just a flesh wound. With the squeamish title I thought I would get to see some muscle and tendons and perhaps bone.

Guess I'll count myself lucky or blessed then. 61, still lift weights like I did at 40, nothing replaced, haven't been to a doctor in four years. Wife 60, hard as a rock, lifts, runs and isnt falling apart. I'm never gonna give up the fight.

Awe man, that's hard. So sorry for the loss. Been through that twice, so hard. Praying fond memories replace the pain soon.

So sorry to hear this. Praying health and speedy recovery.

Spend it ?

Congrats Mr Ed ? getting in shape is good!

tominboise, dude, leave already. In all my 35 years at the FD I never had a retiree come by the station and say, wow I really screwed up by retiring, wish I would have worked one more year. I left three years ago. Yea I remember the mind game of OMY. Push through it. I SERIOUSLY doubt you...

LOL! My first year gone I fought a lot of fire and worked on a lot of bloody messed up patients in my dreams. Happy to report I haven't had a work dream in over a year and a half.

Congrats ER Eddie on your freedom. Yep, sounds a tad familiar. Weed, I grew 6 giant plants in my backyard my first 5 months free. Yielded about 4 pounds. Didn't shave or get a hair cut for a year. I've since calmed down a bit. The euphoria of doing whatever I wanted with no job...

People at work are "work friends". The tie that binds is the job. When you leave you are history and the tie is broken. Spent 35 years with some of them, leave and then I didn't exist. Very normal.

If it was me and this was my wife (you), and some dude was hanging around and saying I'd have you if this guy (me) was dead, I would have nixed him a LONG time ago. Single man hanging with married couple? Weird IMHO. Dump him.

Hey Johnny Fuego, three weeks away from two years gone now. Incredible how fast it goes!!! Loving being free. Had a dream again just last week. Fighting room and contents and mask malfunctioned. Woke myself up grabbing my face. Strange thing the mind. Peace brother.

Much better sleep. I was amazed how sleep deprived I was before retirement! I get up when I wake up, usually 0730-0830. Still have work dreams, running calls, doing CPR on someone. Fought a house fire in a dream last week. It's been 1.5 years since I left and still dreaming about it.

Glad for you. Don't understand why I got a complete runaround.
