The Amazing Human Body
The human body is amazing. When you are younger it takes a lot of abuse... It either doesn't affect you or minor aches disappear quickly... And you don't really think much about it.
When you get older, there's not so much that doesn't affect you. And the bounce back timer is somewhat longer. So you've got more severe aches, longer time to recover... BUT the amazing thing... You do recover in most cases, eventually.
Too much work lately bending, kneeling, stretching, and twisting. Enter a first time issue. My hip, knee, and back was killing me... especially my hip, never had that problem before. I could hardly walk even with a cane. After waiting for it to go away on its own, and it wasn't after 10 days, it was off to see a doctor. This time only a 10 day wait. Exam & x-rays reveal osteoarthritis in left hip, which affected the knee and back. Now 13 days later before the scheduled for a hip injection... RECOVERY! The amazing body is recovering on its own. Not completely but let's say 90%. I'm still going to get the injection, osteoarthritis just doesn't completely go away on its own.

But when you recover from something that feels so severe, you think about how amazing the body that is. Even if you do need some medical help along the way. Funny how you start to feel better before you can finally get an appointment.
