It was some of the crystal handles that look kind of like glass dildos. I'm not opposed to reading books, but he beat me to it, and my idea had a little more entertainment value. Now that's the perfect blend of our ideas!
Go to Goodwill or Salvo for crutches and canes. Watch those knees, my wife just had a total replacement due to high school swimming and arthritis.
^ that's kinda how I feel about it. This body is just going to end up rotting in a grave anyway. May as well get every mile I can out of it Thanks. I hope your wife recovered well.
He didn't say use it up by age 40. I've had a lot of adventures already, and I plan to still be having more when I'm 70. No rest home or wheelchair for me. While your grandkids are visiting you in a building that smells like piss, I'll be hiking on top of a mountain.
That's shitty, If it wasn't for bad luck eh mama? But at least you made the team! If its swelled up like a ball, They might have to scope it. If its normal looking for the most part, Tape the shit out of it and eat some pain pills and jam out with you're clam out, You only live once! Ive had a 8 hour total knee reconstruction, It sucks but was back on my bike in months. Only bad part with you, You need lateral stability/strength in the knee to skate. It will buckle if you don't watch it, Take awhile for a knee to heal 100%. Id hope for hyperextension which will put you out for a few weeks, But truth, a couple months for full range of motion and stability. If you rush it, It takes that much more time away, Unless you can gut it with pills, Tape and a brace. Don't push it IMO, Or you will have a 65 year old persons knee at 32 like me. Like mentioned, Get a good knee brace. Not a cheap one, But carbon fiber with titanium hinges. Not cheap, But cheap insurance if you go down again. Ask you doc to send you to have one made if you can and have insurance pay for it. Good luck and I hope you just cracked the cap and bruised the underside, The best of the shit situation.
:2thumbsup: YFM, I normally use the quotes feature if I'm responding to someone other than the OP. No worries, I was talking to Mama about hurting Mama
The way I see it, any day could be my last. I wanna get it while the gettin's good. Life happens while you're busy making plans.
That sounds nice, but is it really true? It might be better to ask someone after they have lived their life this way what they thought of it, rather than to follow in the footsteps of those who imagined that this would be a good idea. Hunter blew his fucking brains out. There is a difference between trashing a car and crossing the finish line in a cloud of smoke, and being the car that gets trashed. I somehow suspect that his last thought were not "Wow! What a ride!", but rather, "Fuck this! I can't take it anymore!". If Hunter's quote was true, then you'd think that junkies would be really happy people. The high from heroine has got to feel great, and it certainly trashes your body. Don't know any junkies though who say "Wow! What a ride!" or "I'm really glad I became a junky!", at least not after a while. Health is essential to one's sense of well being, and one is wise to treasure it, imho. That doesn't mean that you should never take risks or expend your health in any way, but rather make sure that the costs can be justified by the benefits. Traditional chinese medicine does a great job treating arthritis, btw. It tends to be my answer to everything.
I've always liked that Hunter S Thompson quote but I've always approaches it purely from a mental standpoint rather than physical. I'm all for experiencing life to the fullest but I like my body to feel strong and fresh, not haggard from pushing it to its limits. I plan to travel extensively when I'm old so I need my body to last a long time. None of this is directed at you mama. Your bad-assness simply cannot be contained. I hope you feel better though and I hope it heals quickly. For the arthritis I really recommend yoga. I've never been diagnosed with arthritis but I suspect I have it and yoga really does a body good.
if you're doing what impresses someone else, and not what you enjoy, that's not living life to the anything, that's wasting it entirely.
