What's it like to be a senior?

I just pulled a muscle in my knee doing exercises to fix a pulled muscle in my hip.

Oh my! Dem bones, dem bones and muscles! Guess it's true that "the knee bone's connected to the thigh bone, the thigh bone's connected to the hip bone...

I'm nursing a sore knee from dancing last Saturday night. It's already Wednesday and it's still hurting. Gee, I used to go out dancing 2-3 nights a week, but now I'm down to once or twice a month tops. I guess slowing down was my downfall.

Yeah...I'm a dancer too, and conversely, I've been doing some pretty energetic stuff lately and I think I over did it. So you can't win.

I'm back to wearing a small belt around my left wrist. To look at me you think I'm wearing a wrist watch. What the belt fixes is nerve damage in my hand at wrist level from an old cut at the base of my thumb and forefinger. This happened in the 80's and acts up from time to time. The modern doctor ignores what I say and calls it arthritis. I'm getting more pissed at these doctors.

I don't think they take complaints from seniors as seriously as they do from the young'uns. Have you thought about seeing a hand specialist?
