    Yeah, it was crazy, at 25 I could sprain my ankle and be right as rain the next day.

    By 35, fucking up a joint was a couple day ordeal that required some painkillers.

    By 50, nursing a tendon irritation for 2 weeks is not at all unusual. Having to wait on the painkillers for a few days just post injury to make sure I rest the injury properly is becoming more necessary.

    I’m pretty sure you can fight all of this off with an exercise regiment and eating well. But, I haven’t done that for a very long time.
