Who thinks growing old is a blessing

[dddrees]

I finally went to the Dr today for an issue I’ve had for awhile. I kept telling myself and my wife that given time it would just go away. Well after a month it hadn’t gone away. So yesterday when the wife told me she was going to make an appointment I didn’t tell her no.

So the Nurse practitioner tells me she believes it’s arthritis. X-rays to be done to make sure but she was pretty convinced it is arthritis so instead of a magic pill to make it go away or potentially a temporary issue it looks like as my back goes (arthritis) so goes my knee. Oh and my hands.

So I mention growing old sucks. She says growing old is a blessing. So I say sorry, but growing old sucks.

Better than the alternative but growing old sucks,
