I'm sharing/reflecting I don't expect a reply, reassurance or validation but I’m going to be honest because I think this forum desrves honesty: it is such a valuable thing for short people considering lengthening. Also, hardly any older people do this yet I am older. So, here is a slightly different perspective: I’m quite scared. I handed in my notice & quit my pension scheme & I’m having panic attacks because all was accepted and so now I’m leaving a job where I had respect & status (deserved, or not) since 1988. People I love/like/respect told me I should stay. They don’t know the reason I’m quitting is because I want to lengthen and I will not tell them. They would be horrified. Even so, they have already replaced me (fair enough). So, I jumped & now the current has taken me & I have lost control… this is not easy. Sorry. I don’t ventilate usually but this is why this forum is so great because I can, amongst peers who know where I am coming from… this is a really big step but just the first of many changes. I'm glad I can get this off my chest without being judged++ I might delete this after a few days if it seems naff when I re-read it. Surely other people must have felt this?
Revealing feelings, being scared, doing it anyway....
Thx guys. Things seem better after sleeping on it.
Eyes on the prize...
Salameh in Oct, CCMidwest.
I'm not actually finishing until sept 6th. I have given notice to quit in order to retire to get my occupational pension. I work in the UK NHS. The process takes three months. I will get a lump sum. That's how I will pay for the LL. I'll start working again when I've recovered.
I'm 56 years young Ghostfish... & I've still got my own teeth!
Which other European expert would you be referring to? Also, I recovered a lot quicker than some of the twenty-to-thirty somethings that I rehabilitated with in the "cruciate club" after I had my my ruptured anterior cruciate ligament repaired aged 47yrs old. Us older folks know what recovery from surgery is... I've done it quite a few times & I know many young folks who struggle to get fillings carried out on their dental caries... without wishing to be ageist, of course...
theuprising, I'm a UK family Doctor (a GP). There's a national shortage of GP's in the UK. Work offers won't be an issue
Ghostfish, it is 5cm - unless things are going really well & then it is 5.5cms
It was written before I new anything. Never got round to changing it. Anyway, nothing is set in stone, it depends on circumstances
Oh Dear, Thx, Bigfaker, I think... another, 'yikes' moment for me.
Sorry you had such a bad time of it & wishing everything settles down for you
Yeah UB40, Bigfaker is OK. His input is legit & welcome.
