45 years ago today I got off a bus at Ft. Knox and had to go stand on footprints painted on the ground. Summer from hell.

When you have chance to do something stupid and your common sense says "Nah that's a poor decision" I won't drive 80 through a residential neighborhood....

……you are shopping in the men's section at Kohl's and get excited when you find a Le Tigre polo shirt.

......When you get a small excitement boost from throwing the old dish wash rag away in the bin and start using a fresh new one because its okay to change to a new one now due to the old one starting to smell....

The Kohl's in Upland is very close to me. I go to look and try on and then go home and buy, like twenty shirts online. That will last me for a few years.

Life is like a roll of toilet paper. It goes real fast towards the end.

When sins of the past come back to haunt you. Used to be able to do martial arts 10 hours a day without issue, now I hurt my back rolling out of bed. Really just waiting to start having issues with my knees.

vreihen16 · 06-10-2022, 12:13 PM

Around age 53, my knees became so boney and sensitive that I cannot even kneel on the carpet without shooting pains. I can't crawl, and can't get up off of the floor/ground if I fall down without sliding to a piece of furniture because my knees hurt even on padding.....

A co-worker/friend of mine experienced the same symptoms. He went on sick leave for a while and reappeared with 2 new knees. He said he had both done at the same time. I just cringed, knowing the painful PT he had to endure after the replacement surgery, but it was great watching him waltz down the hallways in a completely normal fashion. That guy had guts!

vreihen16 · 06-10-2022, 02:03 PM

I can walk/move fine, with no pain whatsoever. Just don't put any pressure on my knee caps, because even looking at them the wrong way makes severe shooting pains.

I don't think that surgery will help, and blame the problem on massive doses of diuretics taking all of the padding out of my legs. My DW is jealous because my legs are now skinnier than hers.....

M-technik-3 · 06-10-2022, 04:16 PM

Kayaked for 5 hours and I had a rough time driving home my shoulder was hamburger, but we did get out and enjoy the day. I will be paying for it this weekend.

And the bigger the roll, the more shit you have to deal with.

When I started cycling, the arthritis in my thumbs became an obvious issue. A Meloxicam pill every morning helps with that. But now my left knee starts throbbing after 45-50 minutes of cycling. I'm hoping a bike refit with some cleat adjustment helps with that because I'd really hate to have to give up cycling.
