aches and pains

I dont know whether to laugh or cry, but great post Trev (remember bumping into you on your Polar white fazer 1000 somewhere many moons ago, may have been Bourton on the Water).

:\  Funny how us 'Old Guys' tend to brag (well just a bit) about our age  :\

However ... I'd have to agree that growing old is probably the most difficult thing I've ever done ... and trust me ... I've done some difficult things :eek in my time.  The fifteen years of active service in the Navy started the downhill shuffle and slide.

Combat Diver and Underwater Weapons Specialist, etc.  Followed up with 40 more years of Commercial Diving and Sports Diving Instruction ... with some HGV Long Haul Trucking thrown in ... talk to me about lugging heavy loads about.

To date ... as far as I can remember ... I have a Port side Artificial Knee, Two Artificial Hips (one each side Port Side steel Elbow implants, Two steel 'self adjusting rams' in my Lower Back,  A steel upper jaw (with clip on teeth  :lol . Serious nerve damage to Upper and Lower Spine resulting in Balance problems plus Hand and Foot control agro. 

The Bloody Arthritis Bug and some very Physical Graft have paid me back for my Fantastic Fun Filled Lifestyle and I currently hobble about with a clip on Starboard Side Crutch or my Ivanised Wheelchair if I need to go more than about 200 yards (to the loo). 

Yes I'm still an active 'Biker' ... Honda CB1300 and Sports Sidecar ... I'm ok once I get my leg over  :rolleyes
Almost forgot (old age probs) I'm also about 75% deaf as a doorpost and I'll be 76 years young in October ... so I think I might still be the oldest Fart on the Forum ? :\ 

Need to scoot now ... I need another pee  :eek    Like I always say guys ... live it Now and Stay Safe  .
