My father in law just got on disability after a life of construction absolutely destroyed his fucking body. Carpal tunnel like mad. Arthritis so bad you can see it on an x ray. No nerves left in his hands so he just randomly drops shit now. They’ve gotta fuse a bunch of the discs in his back. Cartilage is just gone from his knees. After seeing him for the first time in a decade, his doctor was baffled and asked him how he functions and he said he just ignores the pain. Personally I think the rampant drug use helps take the edge off but I’m no doctor. Retirement my ass.
