Answering a little late again, but I thank you all for your lovely birthday wishes. I probably will not be here so often in the near future because I am having some unexpected problems with my musculoskeletal system in feet and legs - even to be seen on my orthopedic X-ray pictures, photographed the day after my birthday, causing my "clownesc" orthopedist to tell me: "First, he bad news: this really does not look good and you probably will have in some years a really complicated operation of your heel spur and the Achilles tendon. The good news: This heel spur looks so unusual and almost alienatic for me that you might become famous in the world of orthopedic surgeries! You are in the top 5 of the most unusal X-ray pictures I have ever seen in my life and I am an orthopedist for 35 years now!"
Isn't is always nice to hear that you have something almost unique in your life?
Maybe, this was caused by this long standing at hotel receptions and walking at night through long hotel corridors. My bones always seemed to feel much older at night than my brain did and some mornings, I already thought: "I would have rather liked to feel so old in 30 years but not already now!"
In any case, compared to many others, I am really happy because I still can do everything I did 30 years ago, only a little pain was added now ... hrm ... this may also show to you what a terrible weakling and German "Weichei" I have been all my life.
On the other hand, these new problems are really endangering my new job at a new hotel desk and maybe, I soon will have to find another job. But it's also OK because an old Romanian proverb from the Bucovina is saying: "In this world, nothing is so bad that it could not become much worse, so be happy as long as you can!"
OK, that's all for today and thank you very much for you all and all your wishes and greetings!
