Ugh, everything hurts today. I strained a shoulder muscle this past weekend lifting a bag of laundry & it's stiff & aching up my neck & down into my pecs on one side. & that doesn't even get into the trainwreck that is my back...
@Impious_Jade I hear ya.
Bette Davis once said "Getting old is not for sissies"
@Impious_Jade I hear you and concur. Not just knees for me, hips and shoulders too. All the sudden diagnosed with RA and gout! WTH! I'm not giving in though! Keep up the good fight!
@Jensmom Thanks & ouch! A day without pain these days is like half a miracle. I hope you have some good care for your stuff.
@Impious_Jade To quote my old man, you know you're old when the high point of your day is the morning bowel movement. Now that I'm 66, I realize he was smarter than I knew (and my knees suck too).
@TwiHusband LOL your old man was wise! I'm not quite at that point yet, I'm at the point where "sleeping" is the high point of my day... LOL
@Impious_Jade I feel ya. They did a MRI of my low back and I have 7 pinched nerves in my lumbar spine from four blown discs and 3 pinched discs on the other side. I can barely feel my right leg and I'm having to learn to walk again almost. Patience...I seem to recall that. Old memory though.
@MorkaBuum Yowza. So sorry - only 1 dodgy disc here, annular tear & disc protrusion in lumbar/sacral area. It pinches nerves, not that many tho'. Ouch.
Oh yeah & my knees. They predict every change in the weather these days. & somehow I fucked up one of the tendons on the inner side of my L foot.
This aging shit sucks. Fuck going gently into that good night, entropy's gonna take me kicking & screaming.
