You Know You Are Old When

[stuckmotor]

I'll be 64 in a couple months. I was still doing everything I wanted to until last March. I could jump up and down on and off loading docks, vault a fence, jump up and grab the attic hatch edges and pull myself up in, swing down off the roof, etc... then ouch happened. I get some vertebrae fused in January. So those days are over.

I can tell basically the same story only, I made it to seventy-one. It took eight months to get most of the soreness out of my neck and the doctor told me to squat instead of bend over. Things'll never be the same.

Yep! I just figure I'd rather have a stiff back and legs that function VS what I have now; back is fine, legs don't work.

THAT is a description that will keep my butt cheeks clenched most of the day.......

I had laser surgery done about 6 1/2 years ago. I was bleeding where no guy wants to bleed, and passing clots the size of grapes.

It was well worth it. I now sleep through the night, and otherwise am just like when I was 40.

I don't know what they did, I was unconscious.
It was nowhere near as bad as when they shoved a scope up where it didn't belong to see what was going on.

That makes my knees weak...and makes a proctology exam seem like a walk in the park...

Well hell I've had both and now because of the flomax I take every morning I'm so regular it gets to be ridiculous every hour or less till noon or so then every couple of hours. I know were every Stewarts shop and McDonalds is and which door is closer to the rest rooms. Outside around the house or farms not bad lots of trees or tractors to step behind.

The first time it was on a screen, so I could watch everything. I was asking the doctor questions and he said "most guys won't even watch". How often do you get a chance to see a video of your insides?

That's it, i might have to start drinking again tonight. SMH

I've seen enough of my insides in real time, really don't want slow motion replays.
