When I went to see the doctor about my hip, he told me that I had an injury to the labrum of my hip joint, something something something, and a stage 1 of 4 pre-arthritis.

ReplyDeleteForty is a piece of cake. Fifty is just dandy. I never cared about a birthday with a zero until now and I will definitely be over the hill, a senior citizen, old - even elderly. Wanna trade, you sweet, young thing?
