This was a depressing reminder that I'm getting old.

I was driving in heavy traffic when some idiot decided to cut over at the last second to make a turn, causing the four or so cars in front of me to slam their brakes. I did the same aaaaannnd I think I sprained my ankle.

In all fairness, I’ve fractured both of my ankles before and didn’t go to the hospital, so they’re kind of wonky anyway.

On the plus side, I replaced the brake pads and discs just last week, so they’ve already paid for themselves.

That’s how I ended up with fluid in both of my ankles!

Oh.

How about ankle rotations and a massage?

I’m generally pretty fit and healthy, but I still have my share of mid-30s “old man” experiences just to keep me in check:

I got bursitis in my elbow from leaning on my desk at work. It was like a fluid-filled golf ball under the skin and took a month to go away. If you just say “bursitis” to people, it’s like you’re 80 years old.

I fell off a log in the woods a couple months ago and landed with my full weight on my shoulder and hip. Hip was fine. Shoulder is still semi-borked.

Don’t even get me started on pooping. I remember taking it for granted, now it’s like a strategic plan with my diet.

I got in my car last night after work feeling fine, got out after getting home and my left knee hurt.

Fuck you, body.

That sucks.

Maybe this will cheer you up.

My joints are all clicky and janky from the combination of all the lifting I do and living in Wisconsin where it’s cold and the air is dry for a good several months out of the year. All the jankiness quickly went away on my recent tropical vacation and came right back within a day of being home. Which means at the ripe old age of 34 I’m seriously considering taking this stuff:
