“””I’ve gotten to the point, when asked, “How’re you feeling?”
My standard reply is, “If I felt any better, I’d be at home, in bed with a nurse.””””
Cute!
I very expressively say something like, “I’m excited about life, how ‘bout you!”
That would mean more to you if you could see me hobble up to a door, which people open out of courtesy to a crooked big man with a crooked little stick, and then I surprise them with such an animated reply.
Gives ‘em the right idea! :)
My standard reply, altered from a broadway song of my youth:
“Older everyday, but I’m still waking up!”
Another expression: “If I felt my better, I’d think I was being framed.”
