OLD...................................

Need I say anymore?  I am not aging graceful, but you can ask my family... I am not graceful. When I have a mishap, they say, "Why Grace, what happened?"   lol
I have not hurt myself... It has turned off cool here in central Alabama and my bones are telling on each other about the way I treated them in my younger days of volleyball, cheerleader, and basketball. Just to name a few.. Not to leave out, jumping on my bed at around the age of of 4, flying off the bed and going through the doorway and hitting the sink!  Yep... cracked collarbone.
or... The Childhood Epic Bike Incident with cousin Todd. yep... Chipped knee cap and in a cast. And I will mention, the jammed fingers basketball, falling down on my knees in volleyball, we did not have knee pads in PE and the gym floor was wood! Ouch.. I will even mention as a cheerleader, I was always on the bottom of the pyramid to hold everyone up. My back took that punishment.  but, not anymore... I am Old.....
I didn't sleep worth a flip last night, matter of fact, I flipped all over that bed. Collarbone hurting, shoulder hurting, and now my Tennis Elbow is acting up again. Get this?  It is all hurting on the same side of my body.  lol  Did these old cracked and repaired bones get together and decide to start complaining all at once!  I am feeding them Motrin. I hope they settle down and decide they don't have it so bad... I feel for anyone that has constant pain. I don't like to take any medicine.. But, the old bones have started fussing amongst themselves. I think they are conspiring against me. They are getting back at me for all those years of neglect....                                                                                            I have all my blog friends in prayers during Sandy. They are calling it The Perfect Storm that is going inland. 1000 miles across of strong winds and rain. Please stay safe friends. I hope that it will not be bad as they are saying.  Take care and be safe!
Till later.....

This weather has my hands aching. These old age aches and pains are somewhat new to me. I dare say I don't care for it one bit!
A hot bath in epsom salts does a world of good.

Goodness...hope your old creaky bones find some relief soon! I feel your pain, literally, LOL!

I hear you about the pain! I was eating Tylenol a month ago. Started riding my bike daily and stopped eating highly salted foods - the pain is gone. My hands still get a bit stiff but my back pain is 10% of before.

I broke my left collarbone at 4 - crawled over my aunt to get off the bed and hit the wall then floor. Oops.

I know just how you feel.One day last week I had PT for my shoulder, then I went for my 2 mile walk to ward off diabetes, then I went to the Y to do weight bearing thing to ward off osteoporosis. That means I spent half a day just maintaining this old body!! I'd rather be stitching!

Oh how funny I was 3 or 4 and broke my collar bone jumping off a bed also. Had to wear one of those casts that looks like a mid drift type tee shirt. Ofcourse I don't remember it but I have the pictures.
Hope you get some relief soon.
