I’ve given up. A couple of years ago I quit playing hoops. Not only because I’d lost so many steps that I couldn’t even keep up with the other old guys that I was playing with, but also because an hour of ball would result in four days of pain. I thought I could continue playing tennis, but recently it’s become apparent to me that that’s not true either. My knees are just too shot. I don’t have a slow first step. I don’t have any first step. I think I wouldn’t be walking in a couple of years if I continued. So, I’m done. At least until I get the knee replacement surgery.
I really wanted to play tennis with my daughters, but when they got good, they didn’t want to play with me anymore. And now it’s over. And I walk like Gabby Hayse.
But at least you have your brain. No need to get that replaced.
Well, there’s always video games…

And there’s the Blues man. You can start hanging out in those dark and smoky old bad side of town bars and play your guitar.
I’ll come get a job there as a waitress.

Gabby Hayes? Mmmm, the hotness.
dude!
When we’re younger, we never think we’re gonna lose it. Now sleeping makes me sore. I’m not the one who’s supposed to get stiff in bed!!
Oh tell me about it. I’m getting there too. Tennis is the only sport I ever really felt fit me and now I not only can’t find anyone to play with but I’m afraid I’ll probably just fall over myself and break some damn bone or my head. OK, back to the stair stepper….
Seriously, though, hope you’ve tried glucosamine chondroitin – did wonders for arthritis in my thumb joints (from years of typing).
