Sounds like you have got good Drs and you are looking into more options. Vitamins and supplements is something some believe in. Some don’t. I started following a couple of YouTube quacks. Both are chiropractors I believe but I pick up things that will help me eat better or vitamins to try and sample with my mom.
For example one thing I did was having her eat blueberries daily or every other day at least. And it helps. It’s not a miracle cure but finding if you’re deficient in vitamins or minerals or nutrients I think chipping away at those things is helpful. It will also give you something to do and research on different ways other than your Dr how you might be able to help you. There’s other channels on there those just happen to be the ones I find most helpful. Tons of older videos with both going back 5+ years. Have the wife watch some or find out others.
Just a resource that’s helped me bro. Hopefully you find them and/or different ones that are beneficial for you :-)
Congrats on a great career! Sorry to hear about your health issues, but glad to hear it's kinda long term stuff. Enjoy retirement; after you get settled with it, you'll never look back! [Reply]

Thanks, hope all is well with you and the family. [Reply]
Would not be a BRC post without bragging so…. Last 10 years of my career, I architected, designed, and implemented the first cloud at Bank of America, the largest private cloud in the world for the military and for IBM, the world’s largest serverless IT infrastructure services provider with thousands of enterprise customers, thousands of applications in more than 60 countries.
I hate to hear this, but it's ok to shut things down, you've done plenty. It's time to enjoy yourself. :-)
Also, can't wait to share stories once my journey is finished. :-) #todolist [Reply]

We have a Retirement thread that we started since so many of us are getting to the stage where we are either retiring or near the end of the work life.
Plus we have it there to share stories of retiring and the pitfalls to watch out for. [Reply]
Look at the bright side, if you bring home some fresh poon, you have a built in excuse for never calling her back the next day and not knowing her name! [Reply]

With a little luck, you can have fresh poon every day without cheating!

Will you still be involved with the Chiefs chapter events?
yeah, I’m still involved but as a “founder”. I’ve set up a leadership crew to run things at the national level and internationally. We are making a big push into England and Europe next year.
I got this thing going but that crew knows way more than I ever did. Big ideas and skills to pull it off. It’s in good hands. I’ll just be one of the ones partying on game day. [Reply]
