Getting old sucks.
The fractured right ankle has added to my other physical woes of a shot left knee and the constant lung monitoring.
I had planned to finally get the knee attended to in December but the ankle has led me to wonder if I really want to go through this sort of thing again. I'm leaning toward canceling the knee replacement but my wife won't be happy about that.
My next lung checkup is in October. Hopefully the ankle will be better by then but bad news in the lung checkup might impact the scheduled repair even if I decide to go through with it.
I spend way too much time in doctor's offices. Let's look at the current schedule coming up.
