Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Smutty Tuesday!

I think that after you hit the age of 30, there is bound to be pain somewhere whenever you do something out of the ordinary.

Or even when you do have something ordinary...like allergies. Ugh, my sinuses are killing me!

[Falcon Horus]

I've been having aches in places I didn't even know I could have aches well into my 20ties.
Downside of being so flexible.

On the brightside, I hardly ever break or rip anything either.

Damn that pollen!!

Surprisingly, they haven't hit me yet. *she whispers*

My back started to hurt when I was 20 and I'd had both my back surgeries before 30, so I hear you on that first part. Not so much on the second part. Do your joints ever get stuck out of place??

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Screw the Angst Wednesday!

I just bought some Claritin-D, just in case.

This morning I have my pre-op meeting with the surgeon (surgery is next Wednesday). My sister will be coming with me, because I sometimes space out when doctors are giving me info. I think many people do that.

Oooh, that's the same day I go over for my annual eye exam! More medical fun for all! Good luck on your surgery, I'll be thinking of you when my eyes are dilated!

Do your joints ever get stuck out of place??

Funny you should ask...

If I rest my chin in my hand for too long -- thus pushing my jaw involuntarily to one side -- I risk dislocating it, which would basically mean either not being able to open my mouth or close it again. Yawning too wide has the same effect.

I have to tell the dentist that I can't "open wide" cause then I can't possible close it again.

I do know how to push it back into place though, which in itself doesn't hurt.

My shoulders occasionally make weird popping sounds, especially after playing bowling, which I assume is the joint clicking back into place.

I overstretch both elbows and knees.

I can rotate my feet outwards further than Charlie Chaplin -- balance issues aside.

I can bend my thumbs inside to my wrists.

My right wrist occasionally gives out which then means I am unable to put any weight on it.

I have a Nintendo thumb (left one) which basically means that over-exertion will lock it into place and then I have to force-bend it. That hurts by the way. I don't reccommend it.

I can bend most of my fingers almost 90° backwards.

I can cross my arms on my back like you would in front of your body.

I can cross my legs, not once but twice.

My hips occasionally threaten dislocation when I get out of bed. Those are fun times.

I mean... the list goes on...

I'm 43 years old people.

I saw a meme not so long which is very applicable:

I'm at the age where my mind firmly believes I'm 29, my humor suggests I'm 12, and my body possibly died in the civil war.

Thank you so much! I appreciate that!!

Oooh, that's the same day I go over for my annual eye exam! More medical fun for all! Good luck on your surgery, I'll be thinking of you when my eyes are dilated!

Thanks! Oh I hate that feeling after having your eyes dilated. Everything is way too bright!

Okay I'm stuck on the one I bolded. Whaaaaa?

And my goodness, that just sounds uncomfortable, at best and downright painful at worst. Yikes!!

I saw a variation on that just today, actually.

The Shape I Am In

There's nothing the matter with me,

I'm just as healthy as can be,

I have arthritis in both knees,

And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze.

My pulse is weak, my blood is thin,

But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.


All my teeth have had to come out,

And my diet I hate to think about.

I'm overweight and I can't get thin,

But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.


And arch supports I need for my feet...

Or I wouldn't be able to go out in the street.

Sleep is denied me night after night,

But every morning I find I'm all right.

My memory's failing, my head's in a spin...

But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.


Old age is golden I've heard it said,

But sometimes I wonder, as I go to bed.

With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup,

And my glasses on a shelf, until I get up.

And when sleep dims my eyes, I say to myself,

Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?

The reason I know my Youth has been spent,

Is my get-up-and-go has got-up-and-went!

But really I don't mind, when I think with a grin,

Of all the places my get-up has been.


I get up each morning and dust off my wits,

Pick up the paper and read the obits.

If my name is missing, I'm therefore not dead,

So I eat a good breakfast and jump back into bed.


The moral of this as the tale unfolds,

Is that for you and me, who are growing old....

It is better to say "I'm fine" with a grin,

Than to let people know the shape we are in. Xs08OGPl.jpg

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Pretty Friday!

Thanks! Oh I hate that feeling after having your eyes dilated. Everything is way too bright!

Weather forecast it'll be cloudy all day, but I'm still taking my sunglasses and a wide-brimmed straw hat.
