Damn, he's looking pretty worn out lately.

***

My generation (I'm 52) is undergoing a lot of replacement surgeries these days. My brother and his wife, who are a couple years older than I, have both had their knee joints replaced -- they are avid skiiers. My brother has actually undergone surgery three times -- the first when he was in his early 40's. Part of the reason may be the availability of these surgeries -- didn't have them years ago, so now every time we have an ache, we have a joint replaced. Some of it may be that a lot of people in my age group were couch potatoes for years from maybe high school or college till their 30's or 40's, then they took up strenuous physical activity -- did too much in too short a period of time -- and wound up wrecking their joints at an early age. I know that's what happened to bro and his wife.
