I guess it's a matter of motivation. At any rate, I often remind myself that when I do exercise, the ravages of aging seem to slow or even reverse themselves. I worked through bi-lateral rotator cuff injuries; a complete dislocation at the elbow (reset it myself) of the right arm, and five pins in the left forearm to reduce a comminuted fracture of the radius. It was all a matter of starting out light and increasing the load over time. So, I guess there's hope for everyone. Glad to be here, and will come back often.  |

Those things happened in my younger years when I was "bullet proof and fire resistant". Now it's more like "beware of cotton balls" and "subject to spontaneous combustion at any time". |
