Still time for all of us to suit up!

The healing is ridiculous. Now I just turned 40 and I see it in spades. I hurt my arm back in November. Right where the bicep and that big muscle that runs down the Radius into the humerus overlap. The dang thing still isn't 100%. And I don't even have a clue how I did it??? I didn't notice it but I think I did it taking out the old counter tops when the wife had to have granite throughout the house! Corian, I think, which must be Latin for Depleted Uranium. But I didn't notice the trauma incident. (And the MRI allegedly showed nothing.)

Aggravating...I am down from 279.5lbs...and started playing basketball around 252, now I am 217. But my right foot is killing me, my diagnosis, and the general quack's at Randolph AFB, is Morton's Neuroma! (Go to Podiatry in 2 weeks.) You want to talk about a complicated and an insatiable pain. Under-active.=pain...over-active = pain, there is a narrow band in between where it does OK! Which doesn't add up, means the truth must be in the transient. Been hurting since January...after buying larger shoes, and trying different inserts it is better, but no where near healthy! (You'd think losing weight would stop many pains associated with work and compression or loading of an area????)

In an incident where I severely sprained and broke my pinky (first brake ever)...bothers me much less. I played basketball and everything as normal for 18 days, and not every pass reception or rebound hurt, but many were very notable! At the clinic, my every effort was to get them to worry about my foot, not the finger. But it will be deformed a little, I couldn't see the offset with all of the swelling. Just saying, that is how bad the foot hurts.

Then sleeping...which I always took for granted. The crap I wake up with...crazy. My shoulders killed me for a year...got that worked out. But 4 or 5 days ago I woke to some muscle like strain in my ribs (A few inches below my shoulder blade). Finally slept on my other side last night, with all of the special positioning I normally do on the other side w/ many a pillow...that seems to have helped.

I am convinced that we should all go back to school for Medical Degrees at 40 just to keep up with our own issues!

A lawyer defending himself has a fool for a client....I think it applies to alot of fiels, medicine included.

Donovan, I was hoping to get a Boise fan's perspective on this tidbit:

Boise State will be without
receiver Geraldo Boldewijn
safety Cedric Febis
defensive tackle Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe

How big of an effect will this have on tonight's game?
Will it be more difficult to reposition?
Or will it affect the depth more heavily?

I can see the wisdom in that old school statement. My problem is the churn that is medicine now...everything is chaotic and the fact finding and diagnostics seem to be getting short changed (just like other jobs...I see the same things in Engineering all of the time. My wife, Queen Optimist, is just miffed at how incompetent our Primary Doctor is. If you go in and just answer his questions and do what ever he wants...the most that will happen is you get ibuprofen. Or as my wife got, a totally incorrect prescription. (And we aren't talking off label or anything else...wrong.) Dr. Yang was sure I had sprained my finger when I was at the doctor for my foot. But I went back about 2 weeks later for an urgent care appointment once I was sure it was more than a sprain, I then convinced the young Captain lady (who was rather sure it was a sprain) that I needed an X-Ray.

(And we still have the problem that high school and college are jokes, every one cheats...and that is alright. Every one is a winner and just great and of great value just the way they are. And they wake up tomorrow no wiser and of little more skill than the day before. That isn't too bad if you are 62. The problem is we spend about 62 years not being 62 years old.)

Hate to tell ya but my Doc said lotsa things change at 40. What he DIDN'T say was things won't get better!

Yeah...I hear that everywhere! But I am going down fighting. Pain or no pain, 99 or 110 degrees I go down to the local court...sometimes 3 times a day. But that concrete is rough on aging bones. But if it is above 93 or so I know there won't be one kid in my way. But I need to start lifting weights...but it is just so boring.

I am mulling the comment that 60 is old.......
