Them bones, them bones...

I am at a stage in life that a medical report is shared between friends when the question is asked: "How ya doin'?"

"My knee is acting up again... must be rain."
"I've got a touch of bronchitis."
"Tendonitis, man."
"My wrists are going numb... fricking Carpal tunnel!"

Tonight I feel like I'm finishing up with my allergy problem that's been bugging me all week, but in return, my shoulder is giving me some problems. Man, I'm 39 years old, and I sometimes feel like my body is falling apart.

Here are a few of the maladies that continue to ail me:
Upper lungs are shot as a result of radiation therapy;
Chest, back and shoulder act up as a result of separating my shoulder mountain biking;
Hearing loss from balloon;
Tarsal tunnel syndrome because of all my bike riding;
Plantar fasciitis if I forget to stretch my foot on a regular basis.

Jeesum criminey!

I guess there will just come a time when we will realize that waking up each morning is an amazing enough feat... why complain about our aches and pains?

Well, that's it for tonight... my fingers are about to fall off!
