Well, that's what I get for patting myself on the back. Rolled my ankle near the end of my strength and conditioning class last night. Xrays negative, but I'm in a brace, my ankle and foot are black and blue, and I can't work out for at least 3-4 days because of the swelling. Doc said it should be 100% in 3-4 weeks. I did the same many years ago. Doctor said it would of been better if I broke it. Took a long time to somewhat heal and I will bet about a year before I had complete use of it.

I caught myself and didn't fall, which the doc said probably saved it from being much worse. Had I fallen to my left, I would've rolled it over completely.

I turned 40 in August. If I'm being honest, I've slowed down a lot. Certainly can't do what I used to when I was 18. I probably couldn't even keep up with my 30-year-old self. Being about 315lbs complicates matters somewhat. Heart disease, alcoholism & diabetes runs in the family. Mums' oldest brothers' heart blew up when he was 43. Her next brother (literally) dropped dead mid-sentence at 63. My knees aren't shot but they don't like to move as much as they used to. Back gets quite sore doing even basic things and I get winded quite easily. Oh, I have some sort of Kidney disease too.... nefritis? I don't remember (nor do I care) anymore. I'm fat. I'm ugly. I'm unemployed. If I dropped dead tomorrow, nobody would even notice. Other than that, I'm perfectly all right! At least the sense of humor still works.

After reading some of the post on this thread all I can say is it must suck to be some of you guys. I will be 77 years old on 30 Sep 2020 and I still average 5 to 6 hours a day in my shop working street rods. I quit drag racing three years ago only because my local track closed. After 47 years of abusing my body as a flat rate tech I'm done with that. The pace of life around here has forced me to slow down anyway. Even small jobs have to be planned well in advance and all necessary supplies procured well in advance or it will turn into an all day job at a minimum. Hell just going to the grocery store is an all day event. But I'm not complaining, I love living here.

Can’t forget my daily driver with the Gen III hemi in it. I built it in 2013 and have put over 56k miles on it so far. https://ibb.co/ZT5zVd1
