Just scheduled surgery for my trigger thumb. It will be my first medical treatment on #Medicare.

We tried the steroid shot and although it relieved the pain and reduced the swelling, the thumb still "clicks." I want my left hand functioning normally!

I forgot the word "outline" this morning in discussion regarding framing research and comparative analysis. OUTLINE! OUTLINE! OUTLINE? OUTLINE!? #interrobang #semanticsatiation #ohsureyourememberedsemanticsatiationandinterrobangjustfine #wtf #gettingoldsucks #memoryfail #likepregnancybrainbutmale

Just made my first doctor appointment on Medicare. No, I'm not on Medicare yet, but my healthcare provider is so far booked out that I figured I may as well take the appointment AFTER my June 30 birthday when I AM on Medicare.

And yes, the appointment is for a rheumatologist. How appropriate. #GettingOldSucks #CurrentlyBeatsAlterative

Time for ibuprofen, this cold damp weather is kicking my arse, so stiff and achy in the mornings before I warm up.

Sharp pain in both wrists, in certain positions, & very light load (e.g. a water glass). I suspect a weird shock chopping some ice off concrete. Didnโ€™t expect to be THIS fragile at 63. #GettingOldSucks

Like Shakira, my hips donโ€™t lie.

They do complain a lot, tho.

Spending 2hrs putting a bed frame together & deconstructing the old one & making a bracket to fit the old headboard to the new frame..

In your 20s: Cool, done, might go for a jog now before dinner.. ๐Ÿšถโ€โžก๏ธ

In your 50s: _EVERYTHING_ Hurts! Avenge me!.. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

I'm usually advertising immune. I'm an analytical shopper who does tons of research before I buy anything. But I just saw an ad for some stuff that's supposed to provide support and comfort for joints in aging people, and I immediately bought a bottle on Amazon. It's made by a reputable manufacturer.

Don't judge me. ๐Ÿ™‚
