My wife has had three hip replacements, which is not nearly as rough as a knee, and rotator cuff surgery, which is a lot worse than a hip.


Yeah, her knee has been pretty rough; she did really well in February when she had a total reversal of her shoulder (instead of rotator cuff) and bounced back really quickly.  Hoping she does the same now so we can convince her to do the other knee sooner rather than later - she has been bone-on-bone with both knees for a decade or more.  

and ouch - three hip replacements?  I hope that when it comes time for me to have my hip replacement that it doesn't turn into that!

There was an issue apparently with some early ball-socket joints, they started shedding iron particles, which obviously gets bad.  So she had a "revision" they call it.  She came back from them pretty quickly, but the rotator cuff thing was really bad for her, and in general.

The bad thing is I had shoulder surgery a week after hers, not nearly as complicated, but bad enough.  We had some help for a couple weeks.  The good thing is my shoulder no longer is unusually painful.  I had hurt it at age 16 pitching, nobody back then had a clue what it was.

Well I'm not gonna complain about soreness or ailments. I earned my current soreness. 

I've been slacking on the Peloton, so I rode 60 minutes Saturday, 45 Sunday, and 75 today (Monday). My hip is tight and my foot sore, but I'm happy to start pushing the minutes again. 

Doing this so I'm capable 30-40 years from now. Or 80 years from now, like CD.

Unfortunately for me, I really let myself go for quite a few midlife years.  I'm paying for it now in terms of fat, though I'm fortunate my moving parts are mostly OK.

When you hit around 45 I think there can be a tendency to let it all go for some reason, the weight of "life" can get oppressive.  Then I had a bout of depression I treated mostly with alcohol.  Get up walk, he says, while posting here.

Yeah, I played and continued to play into my 40s, and started back again at 60.  It was odd to me that on rare occasions I could still throw with a lot of zip, but most of the time my are felt dead.  There is a sound the catcher's mitt makes when a pitcher throws about 80 or more that I found quite pleasing.

It got to the point I couldn't raise my arm without pain, so I had it checked out, torn labrum and miscellanous debris.  Surgery fixed the pain by my arm is still quite dead.  I can MAYBE throw 60, but probably more like 55.
