The old saying "if you have your health you have everything" probably rings true the older we get. I am one of the lucky ones so far. Even with Viet Nam, 32 years of a LEO career, including some stress as a K-9 Trooper, Hostage Negotiator, and UC Narc, never any serious injury or health issues. At almost 61 is is starting though, high blood pressure, recent cataract surgery, body slowing down. I guess my attitude is you just don't worry about what you really can't control anyway. Heck my brother-in-law got drafted and served during the same time frame as me. He lost both legs above the knees, came back home, finished college, worked his way up through a good banking career, raised a family, and retired early. Now they enjoy their hard work by taking trips from Arizona in their SOB Class A. He has all kinds of health issues related to his Nam experience, but he has never complained, he does what he can and enjoys the life he was given. You just don't worry about what you can't control.
