getting old stinks

sIt's not the age, it's the miles.

When the warranty is up, it's all down hill from there.

I'm 52, have two bad knees with a torn lateral meniscus in each and a progressively arthritic spine that hurts like hell and cracks and pop like an old oak tree in a windstorm.

BUT, I refuse to stop moving and I WILL keep on doing and moving for as long as I can. I once spent 6 weeks in a wheelchair and another 8 weeks with a walker followed by 16 weeks with a cane 9 years ago when I tore out both knees at the same time.

It taught me that there are always ways to keep moving and doing the things you need to do as long as you don't despair the circumstance.

Adapt and overcome to keep moving forward. All we get is what we have...and it's up to us to make the most of it.
