My friend LM who's at least 62-63 told me how depressed he was
becoming because of the pain his worn out knees were causing him
and a hopelessness was descending upon him because he's been able
to physically work hard all his life and I could hear in his voice
how he was sinking into depression. I told him how to beat it the
same way I did. Get mad and tell the depression monster that it's
not going to take you down and you'll beat that SOB. When I talked
with him again, he said my advice worked. When people give up and
stop fighting for their life, that's when they wither away and die.

I hope he saw a doctor as a lot of things can be done. I recently
had steroid shots in the knees and it made a huge difference, even if
it is only good for about 6 months.

He has been to an orthopedist but I'm not sure what the outcome of that
was but I know he got some elastic supports and he told me seemed to
help a bit but with the weather bouncing around he's almost in as much
pain as I'm in. The important thing is, he learned how to beat a real
killer that causes health problems to get much worse. o_O
