Ayup. Every. single. freaking.one. I have knees that ache, (no synovial fluid left under the kneecaps) shoulders that are
so painful some afternoons that I have to break out Dragon Nat Speaking, to (remotely) finish my workday; a spine with arthritis that just won't let me stay in bed for any normal sleeping period at night.
All of this--and some I'm not even
bothering to mention--from a woman that worked out 3-5x weekly, every week of pretty much her entire adult life. Mostly aerobic, low-impact work, with some lifting and pilates-type-core work, planking (lots) but that
never stopped me from blowing out not one but
TWO knees; (to be fair, the right one was done when I was swept illegally in a kick-boxing match...but the other popped on a stair climber, when I was just puttering along), coming down with frozen shoulder (yup, you guessed it,
both shoulders over the course of a year), repetitive motion injuries (mousing), and let's see...oh, yea. Oh, don't get me started about the 9 billion broken toes, which now break if they think they
hear a crispy water cracker being broken in half. It's so freaking irritating.
Aging sucks in ways that they
never warned us about, that's dem facts. We
all are guilty of it--we tell ourselves that we're gonna "age gracefully" nad the total BS about that is, "aging gracefully" means...yup, you got it,
NOT BL**DY AGING. So now, not only do we bl**dy look old, all the crap under the surface is creaky too.

urgh.
