Hallux Rigidus

. Hallux rigidus at the first metatarsophanlangeal joint Old woman's shoes suggested by the orthopedic surgeon_____ The nerve!! Oh!! Shucks my driving toe... It hurts to drive~~~ He says to let the toe rest stay off of it..... The fix for right now_ Injection of Kenalog(a steriod)... PAIN, AGONY and DESPAIR..... Horrible!! Old age has its pit falls... Someday though I will shed this body of clay I'll have a new body, Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life...

Yes old age really stinks sometimes! I haven't gotten all the old age signs except for the memory loss, sometimes I can't remember what I was going to do, why I went into that room, sometimes I can't remember the key word within the sentence I'm saying! But it isn't that bad, it doesn't happen THAT often! I'd say it's common amongst anyone my age! I really enjoyed reading this illustrious poem this evening! What an outstanding piece my friend! Great work!!

Darn ailments seem to creep up on us before we are ready. The mind seems to get more vibrant ... love the wit and expression in this one :)
