What made you happy today?

[SkyAJK]

What make me happy today is to know where has my energy gone?

No, actually let me have more energy to do more stuff that I need to do.

Praying for you @BigBlueHen53.
Your irises are lovely.

Thank you, I appreciate that. More than my knee, I need prayer for courage, faith and patience. It's easy to be crabby when you hurt, and I don't want to be that person.

I got another MRI on my knee today. Soon I will know whether I have a torn ACL and then my ortho and I can decide what to do about that and the torn meniscus. Also and more immediately, I have irises in many colors blooming all around my house, they are my favorite flower.

Beautiful flowers, so spring looking there.

I hope your MRI comes back good, no serious issue with your knees.

2 years ago, my hen screamed and screamed, I went down the stair seem like a million times that morning to address to her screaming and then suddenly my knees collapsed. The pain was excruciating. I had keyholes surgery meniscus root repair. To this day, I am still not able to run, just walk normally in my day to day, not walking for exercise.

Age catches up with us, doesn't it?. I just turned 72. My warranty ran out long ago. My bedroom is in the basement. I have not been down there in two months, except twice because of tornado warnings. I hope I can get down there again soon!

Happy birthday

It is not fair old age! Not at all!!

I hate being old, the body is no longer does what it used to. We eventually will have to get those electric lift/chair install to take us up the stair.

The bathroom is too small, difficulty for wheel chair access...these are the things I am thinking now as eventually I will end up with the wheel chair.

My doctor told me that I will need knees replacement in the near future, I don't want to know. How long do knees replacement last? Not want to know.

Yes old age is challenging! But remember - it beats the alternative!

Not necessarily.

Not necessarily.

Oh come on. I keep telling myself that, it keeps me going. I haven't gotten to that point yet, Elkie!

Not necessarily.

I guess it depends on what kind of shape you're in, "I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN"!, DAMN IT I WILL! Live out of spite.

Really boils down to what kind of after life you believe in.
