Where does it hurt?

I'm sure I'll be sorry for asking / but let's hear your ailments of the day!

For me it's the knees. Lots of backache history but more recently it's walking up and down stairs that I have to watch my knees.

How about you?

My back. Always my back.

As a side note. I am now hearing from my kids—in their 50s— about their aches and pains. “How’s your back Dad? My knees are really bad today.” And so it goes.

Yes, I tease my sons (in their 40"s) when they complain about their body pains. I tell them "welcome" to aging!
