Printing Off The 2023, 2024 and 2025 Income Tax Return Schedules
[ Tuesday September 1st 2026 at 9:43 pm ]
The next task I need to tackle is completing my 2023, 2024 and 2025 income tax returns. The physical marathon and pain from when my artificial hips began to malfunction at the end of 2023 is why I haven't got to my income taxes before now. Doing this requires concentration. Pain is the antithesis of completing a task that needs accuracy. It has become obvious the only way I will complete these is by spending between 45 and 60 minutes during the part of the day when I am doing my best possible and then stop before I make a mistake that takes precious time and energy to identify and correct. Before I began to experience chronic pain I could see people were suffering with a migraine headache or some type of injury. Being in pain is much worse than I could have ever have guessed. Although the worst pain I have ever experienced has been since the fall of 2024. Nausea, dizziness and motion sickness caused by pain is extremely debilitating. The doctors involved in my care have prescribed anti-nausea medication to help manage this. But the side effects of these medications are even worse than the pain. You are left to pick your poison. It is either tolerate the nausea and dizziness caused by severe pain or suffer debilitating weakness caused by the medication to treat it. This isn't to mention the long term side effects. The anti-nausea medication I have been prescribed causes permanent Parkinson's disease hand shaking once your brain chemistry becomes permanently changed after an unknown number of doses. I have no problem with making decisions where I am having to pick the lesser of all evils. I don't shy away from making these decisions. But it sure has been sufficiently unpleasant.
