… “never get old”

That’s the advice I’ve been getting from “Physical” Ed Vincent … for decades.

Ed is something like 100yrs old in chronological years — about age-50 to look at while he’s training gymnastics.

Seems old age is bad for your health. It’s Dave’s birthday today — look where he ended up. 🙂

The same week … Warren Long:

… I landed foolishly in the gym from a simple front tuck. I landed with one knee locked and did some damage. After hours in Emergency and XRays and a CT scan, it was found that I had fractured my tibia and probably damaged lots of other stuff.

This morning, after a rush MRI (very lucky to get in), I learned that I had done almost no other damage! No surgery required and no ACL repair needed. Just need to let the bone heal and not let anything else atrophy.

Same week I spent 7hrs in Emergency, arriving by ambulance.

After a dozen tests (EKG, CT scan, etc.) the Doc finally confirmed it was — as he originally suspected — vertigo

… a subtype of dizziness in which a patient inappropriately experiences the perception of motion (usually a spinning motion) due to dysfunction of the vestibular system …

Dizziness and vertigo are common medical issues, affecting approximately 20%-30% of the general population. …

Best case scenario mine is “Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo“.

No medication. Normally treated by manipulating the head to move out debris in the semicircular canal.

NEVER get old.
