Decrepitude
I cannot find an ailments thread so this is the ailments thread.
Sudden new attack of elbow aids this week: the elbow swelled right up a couple of days ago out of nowhere and was very red and sore. It was a bit better yesterday and is a lot better today (having exploded overnight), so hopefully it'll be fine in 2-3 days, but it's a bit disconcerting when things like this happen. I had bursitis about 8 years ago in the other elbow, and of course the terrible fat red leg a couple of years ago, without any obvious cause for either, so I'm getting a bit paranoid.

Ugh! That doesnae sound like much fun at all!
Re: Decrepitude
My lower back reminded me of its existence, again, earlier this week, by twanging when I picked up a bag of shopping. I had to be pretty careful not to receive another twang for the rest of the day, otherwise I'd have been in a fair amount of pain for the following couple of days or so.

Oh no. Please do not break everyone
Re: Decrepitude
I need to wear reading glasses now. This is rubbish

Re: Decrepitude
My leg is in agony but I'm British so I'll see how it goes for a week or so
Re: Decrepitude
With the recent experiences I've heard 'bout my local hospital, I'm only going there if I become a zombye.
Re: Decrepitude
Because I didn't want to feel left out of this thread, last night I went downstairs in the dark at 3am to use the toilet and slipped down the last stair like an idiot and seem to have pulled a muscle in my thigh so now it really hurts when I walk up the stairs in some sort of ironic punishment for falling down them

Re: Decrepitude
I have to wear my glasses to drive at night now. String back gloves next.
Cthulu bum you!
Re: Decrepitude
Rich mentioning driving at night has just reminded me - night vision is a funny thing. About half my close/extended family are like me, and have really bad/trippy night vision, especially when various lights/lighting is involved. I presume its a genetic flaw or summat, and our ancient ancestors didn't hunt whatsoever after dusk.
Re: Decrepitude
I wear my glasses all the time even though I don't really need to, because I like wearing glasses
Re: Decrepitude
I have to wear different glasses for using the computer now.
Re: Decrepitude
And take my normal glasses off to read anything

Re: Decrepitude
I once got told off by the optician for wasting his time because me eyes were "too good".
That sounds like something a six year old would say to impress his friends but it happened.

Re: Decrepitude
I wasn't "too good," but I was good enough at my last appointment to not require glasses, which disappointed me, because I wanted an excuse to shop for glasses
NOW, LET US LICK THE EGG

Re: Decrepitude
Having to hold things at arms length to read the label is also surprisingly irritating
Cthulu bum you!
Re: Decrepitude
I expect that's actually quite a bit more irritating. Stupid eyes.
Re: Decrepitude
Why can't I have laser beam eyes? I mean, I'd pay extra for those, Specsavers, even possibly a three figure sum.

Re: Decrepitude
Alas for everybody, and everybody's body.
So far my eyes don't seem to be going longsighted, though it's just a matter of time. Apparently my sister's eyes have already begun to do so. My grandad only barely needed reading glasses in his 70s and 80s, but he had excellent eyesight generally, which I definitely don't.
The elbow aids seems to have gone now, leaving me none the wiser as to what the hell was going on.

Re: Decrepitude
I wish I was too bald to have nits
Re: Decrepitude
If I have to shave my beard off now I'm going to weep for days
Re: Decrepitude
Imagine how terrifying a race of beard nits would be
Re: Decrepitude
Imagine combing your beard with one of those stupid combs

Re: Decrepitude
I managed to stub my toe so hard on the wii fit board under the settee that's been there unused for ten years that my toe's gone all black and my whole foot throbbed for two days. this might be the most pathetic injury in the history of humankind
Re: Decrepitude
But at least it hasn't dropped off yet
Re: Decrepitude
Yikes Davuss!
I hope it sorts itself out soon! *thumbs up*
