I'm a Wreck

Holy schnikeys my knee hurts. It's been sore since last week, and my back was a bit sore earlier this week, but it all seems to have settled into my knee. I can barely take stairs. Reminds me of my Mom, who had arthritis bad enough to get both of her knees replaced with plastic-and-aluminum jobbies. They seemed to work pretty well. I wonder if that's where I will end up? Haven't had any real arthritis symptoms anywhere else.

It wouldn't be so bad if it had happened, say, while working on our house, or maybe during a heated sparring match. But I can't remember doing anything that would have affected the damn knee like this.

Hey, getting old sucks. But I don't think I'm the first to say that.

So it's the Big Mojo Nixon I'm A Wreck Friday Random Ten and St Patty's Day Hoo-Raw. So we'll be doing the random from the Irish music on my computer, here. This may not be what you're expecting.
