I did this yesterday: https://cbsloc.al/2Hox14K tonight we are co-hosting a party in Woodside. StJohn you should come out. I’m tired. I have an inguinal hernia. I’m way out of shape. Super fat. Yoga starts May 21st.
Hey, you're on the teevy! Congratulations, you looked great -- I hope the yoga helps you feel great too. I don't mind getting older, but I wish it didn't hurt as much as it does. My knees are fucked. Don't suppose you've got any o' them stem cells I keep hearing so much about? Just shoot 'em straight into my kneecaps. I wish I could come party with you, but I moved away from San Francisco late last year. I was getting super depressed in that city, and the change of scene has been amazing. I finally have an apartment that's big enough to have a bed in it. A bed, I say!
Very nice to hear from you St. John. Where are you at now? I travel often and would welcome the chance to catch up in person. Re your knees. I completely understand. And the key is to bank your stem cells now so you can use them to treat your knees when you’re 60, 70, 80 years old. You think they’re fucked now?? Just wait. -Sorry to be a bummer. I was at the party last night and several long time Bay Area peeps said they’re either moving or looking to move. They also find the city depressing. I think we are passed peak SF. There is an exodus. Enjoy that Bed!
Yeah, I don't have any regrets about my ten years in SF, but I don't have any regrets about moving either. It was time, and I know a lot of other people are feeling the same way. A lot of my friends had already been forced out or left on their own. When I moved there it was a city that people move to, but now it's a city that people escape from. I'll PM you so we can catch up properly next time we're both in the same city!
I'm sorry to hear about the hernia. Those aren't any fun. I don't want to give medical advice, because that's the role of doctors and all, but I would say that when you talk to a surgeon about addressing it, you have a good talk about options and especially the risks. I know someone who had an inguinal hernia and had it repaired with a mesh. They eventually started suffering from chronic pain and all, to the point where it's affected their employment and mental health. From what they've shared with me, it has not been an easy ride for them.
