Thanks Bobbie and Mitch!

I like to think "I'm growing older but not up" (to quote a famous American songwriter).

I know we have a number of golfers in our class (and a few golf widows or widowers. My wife has recently started playing so I guess I'll have to be more careful when I drive the cart.

Greg - I wish everyone had the sense of humor you have.  These last two posts are hilarious!  Thank you for the great smiles.  I will have to share the wedding registry - too funny!  Thank you.

Mitch Wise

Please keep us laughing,  great posts, thanks Greg.

Thanks everyone for all the great comments! Let's all refuse to grow up even though we're growing older!

Ok, What has happened to Greg?  No posts in a while and missing his humor.

Greg Cook

Mitch, don't know if you're a golfer but I hope you'll appreciate the humor here. For those of you who golf and golf widows will surely get it.

Greg Cook

Mitch, be careful what you wish for!

Greg, you didn't disappoint!  Thanks for the laughs.

The Big Bertha ad is a classic.  Too much!

Has anyone had a hip replacement or "two" (I am sure not at once!). I had that neck surgery in June last year, then in November I had the matching back surgery (as if they were twins, LOL!). Now my primary care doctor thinks I have a knee that has gone south and his traveling companions may be twin hips. We know one is packing its bags; I am just not sure about the other one. I hear that old song MRI's a comin' Oh 'What a Lovely Day'. With this, I can sure hope Linda has a good outcome. After last year, these hips must think they are being funny by acting up at the same time, and with them comes more back surgery. What is this? You reach that magical age of the 50 year reunions and all the fun just runs away with that sneaky little home wrecker pain. I better get them before they get me. Meeting on Main at 'High Noon'. is the Coop around anywhere? Linda and all, please tell me this will be easy going. I know something better. Help! Someone pray for us. Linda, I knew there was a connection to us beside school and age. Faith! Maybe if your knee hears my knee start acting up they will run away together. 'Together Again'! Big time LOL's!!! I know the twins are in for a surprise of their lives; the knees, or at least the left one is in for a surprise of its life. The right one may be in for a bigger surprise, humpfff!. Well if our knees run away with that rascal pain, will that work for the others. That was a rhetorical question - don't answer it.  I guess the spell checker worked. It's got to be better than this body. I thought I paid 'Sally" for a 'Ride' that was free of pain. It took me a bit of time to get this put together. Micah.

Thanks Greg, the film clip was classic.  You are keeping us all laughing.

This week's Senior Moment:

Thanks for all the comments!

Linda Wonn (Carpenter)

Hi Micah,

 I have several friends who have had hip replacements, many of them much younger thna we are and they all had good outcomes. You are only in the hospital a day and a half and should be up and walking without pain within the week. The Edisoin Golf Coach who is 48, had one earlier in the year and he was back at school after 5 days and coaching golf the next week.  Michah, you should have a good result.

My first knee replacement went very well for me but this one has not been the case at all. I can't seem to bend it very well and each day it is like starting over again. My physical therapist got it to 110 with much painful pushing and prodding one day last week but the very next sesion  could only get it to 90 and even less the next time. I am hoping when I finally get the orthopedic surgeon's go ahead to get back in the water, it will make a significant difference. 

I wish you the best with your hip replacements.

Linda

Linda, good to hear you have successfully transitioned through knee surgery, but sorry to hear it hasn't gone as well as your first knee surgery.   I suspect that you and your physical therapist will find a way to get the mobility you want from your new knee.

I am working on my own knee issues and after about 6 months of working with an orthopedist and a physical therapist I think it is probably time for me to move on to a knee replacement.

Best wishes for further recovery from the knee surgery.  Rich
 

Mitch Wise

Hi Linda,  Sorry to hear you are having difficulties with the recovery.  I agree, If you can get in a pool the excercises would be easier.  I know you will be fine, just  "pain" in the meantime.  Best of luck.

Janice Webber (Sharples)

I'm still running on original equipment, so this is all I have to offer, along with wishes for an easy, successful surgery. 

Richard Maurer

Very good Janice.  Seems to be quite in the spirit that Greg has contributed to the forum.

Mitch Wise

Love your humor Janice

Gordon Reed

Work with the physical therapy folks and recover your function. All my joints are OEM but I did spend over a month in rehab after I got my heart bypasses done 15 years ago. The rehab activities are an important part of the healing process.

Linda Wonn (Carpenter)

Good for you, Janice. This made me smile. Maybe I should have requested a Zebra knee.:) Micah, I am sure you will do just fine! And Gordon, you are correct. The physical therapy is key to these recoveries. I go three days a week and do all of the exercises at home 4 times a day so I am expecting a corner turned or a knee to be bent any day now.
