My knees, lower back, and spine took the brunt of my activities in my 30s. It didn't help that I really enjoyed a copious amount of Dancing at the Clubs in my 30s. In the later 1980s, I spent most Fridays and a good share of Saturdays, as well, at a Nightclub known as "The Hop." The Hop was located in Fountain Valley California and owned by the singing duo, "The Righteous Brothers."(Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield.) I used to see Bill Medley there on occasion and sometimes he and his partner, Bobby Hatfield would perform there. I got a lot of Cardio-exercise at that point in my life. I was divorced in 1985 and never re-married. Today, my Ex-Wife and I are good Friends. We share a Son together and he's married with two Children. We all live in the same State. I never thought I'd leave California, because, I came to California from Illinois when I was five years old and spent most of my life in "The Land of the Fruits and the Nuts" (aka; California.)

I left there in 2008 after my Mom went to be with the Lord. It appears I left just in time, because, when I left, "Arnold Schwarzenegger" was Governor and now, Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown is the Governor. California has become a "Cesspool" of total madness and evil. I'll just mention that in passing. My Mom was, what you could call a "Diehard." She finally passed away at 81 years old, but, not before suffering from a few deadly ailments that would kill a "Very Strong, athletic, and young Male," in short order.

Allow me to "List" those Ailments below;
1) Sepsis.
2) Peritonitis. (This one killed Houdini)
3) Kidney Failure.
4) Arthritis.
5) A ruptured Bladder.(She ended up with a Colostomy Bag with this one.)
6) Blind in one Eye.
7) A Stroke that would have decimated a Water Buffalo.
8) She had a Heart Pacemaker. (She had it replaced a second time even though the Doctor said; "She won't need a second." Boy, was he wrong? He didn't realize who he was dealing with.
9) I believe she had "High Blood Pressure, as well.
10)She had a feeding tube placed in her Stomach the very day she died.


She lived through all of these "Medical Adversities" yet, it wasn't her "Appointed time to go." Then, one morning she passed away in a Hospital bed. What's to be learned from this? Well, I suppose we have to look to the fact that, God has a "Day Appointed" for us to "pass away" and nothing, nor anybody can do anything to change that "Appointment." We all, have an "Appointment to keep." We just don't know, where and when?

Amen

Job 14:1-2 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

Job 14:5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;​

Bobby did a pretty good job on this song, no?:
