You Know You Are Old When

Mr. Max-24-Dean, hope you are resting well and recover 100% quickly...medical technology today is not perfect, but odds are a lot better than they used to be!

Maybe I should refrain from mentioning that I had to take my own catheter out...

Tied it to the doorknob, backed up and slammed the door?

That worked for loose teeth otherwise not to sure about it.

Would have caused my teeth to fall out, lol

The cathater I just had was painless in general.
What wasn't painless was the heart attack and the 2 hour ride to the closest hospital capable of placing a stent. Lots of intense pain until the stent was placed and then no pain at all. Had 100% blockage of an artery.
2 nd procedure for a smaller blockage was completly painfree.
Now at home resting.

Hope you heal up quickly!

You might want to be careful there. No matter how much time you spent tugging on the thing as a teen, I could imagine someone popping their willy clean off, should the door and the slam both be heavy enough.

I'll be 64 in a couple months. I was still doing everything I wanted to until last March. I could jump up and down on and off loading docks, vault a fence, jump up and grab the attic hatch edges and pull myself up in, swing down off the roof, etc... then ouch happened. I get some vertebrae fused in January. So those days are over.

My moment came at 68 (77 in Feb) when my son and I quit argueing about who was faster on a dirt bike.

I guess I'll spare you any amateur attempt at calculating the tensile strength of 1 square inch of cartilage and flesh.

For a minute there, I thought you were saying you were 68 years old in February of 1977....
