Getting old sucks!

[ConsNZ]

Looks like I’ll be out of commission for a while since I need a new shoulder joint. My existing rotator cuff and glenoid surface is shot and arthritic as well as multiple tears in the labrum, deltoid and bicep. So my surgeon recommended a “reverse shoulder arthroplasty” Which is going to screw up my golf game this summer! Oh well, the alternative is no golf ever again.

Surgery is this coming week so wish me luck!

All the best in surgery and recovery. Follow physio's instructions to a 'T' and don't rush the healing process nekminit you'll be right as rain.

what im realizing in my older years, everything i did in my younger years is now getting revenge.

When I was younger I spent a lot of money on wild women, alcohol and drugs. The rest I just kind of wasted.

For you, maybe. I plan to go out in a blaze of glory in my 30's.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I used to think I would do the same and now I'm 83. It's been a long blaze.

lol in college my alcohol was mainly free of charge. had a friend in the dorm who had age issues. I had money issues... naturally a great meetin of the minds.

I never did the rent a cow options... much to cheap for that.

so now your liver is shot, your back is killing you, and you are broke living in a old age rehab center.

Well based on modern costs for such surgeries you can become the new "Six Million Dollar Man"!

It is no good to complain as others have symptoms much worse than
yours might be, as we age , yes , body parts wear out , it is our
attitude that must stay strong as long as possible, shipmodeling
became my refuge , keeps the mind active ,always challenging ,
fortunately at 92 I can still do it but you must have the will , I
too have had many set backs with aging but life goes on and so
make the best of it. Wish you have successful surgery all the
best.
