Begin with one heel spur,
left foot. Move on to bunions, one each, left and right. Adding insult to
injury, a divergent, bulging knuckle points the right pinkie finger northeasterly.
Finally, bursitis of the shoulder. Times two. That makes fifty-five, and
counting.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Thom!
DeleteI. Feel. It. Yo.
ReplyDeleteMy knee is the size of a soccer ball today and my back is that of a 90-year-old. I got this.
Yo.
DeleteThe writer in me is pleased. The creaking human is sorry for you : ) Thanks, Lance!
Oh, ouch! Great job with the "math" and I love your title!
ReplyDeleteHehe. Math, such a weak spot in high school - so easy here : ) Thanks for the love, Jennifer!
DeleteInteresting direction to take this in, and I relate more and more each passing year.
ReplyDeleteOh, grasshopper, I sense that you are still young enough to bounce : )
DeleteThanks, Marcy!
Yep! I am right there with you. Good one!
ReplyDeleteSorry to here that, Susan! Lol Thank you!
Deleteouchie!!
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah!
DeleteWonderful - very creative! I've always considered math to be painful :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, slj! Math is more than the sum of its pains : )
DeleteOh God! Must hurt.
ReplyDeleteI love your title!
Wine helps : ) Thanks for the love, Soumyaa!
DeleteThis is so cleverly written. It is, unfortunately, the way things seem to go, but you write is so beautifully. And the title is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, CC! You are very kind.
DeleteOw! Clever, if painful, use of the prompt!
ReplyDeleteMisery loves company, you know! Thank you, FF!
DeleteReminds me of my orthopaedic exam which went pathetic. Anyway, it is crazy to calculate one's age by the points of ossification. And one helluva headache to remember the ages
ReplyDeleteYou never know...
DeleteIt could become a welcome distraction...
Thank you, Habiba!
I can empathize. Thank you, Kymm, for adding humor to a daily discovery . Let's see, what about that bunion?
ReplyDeleteBunions suck!
DeleteGlad you were amused: )
Thank you, Joanne!
Oh, one of my favourites on the grid this week! You just made a bunion sound cool ;)
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Well then my work is done here.
DeleteThank you so much, Shaiaja! < 3
I love the detail that your finger points northeasterly, like a broken compass!
ReplyDeleteAh, thank you for that detailed love, Nate! Precisely my intent : )
DeleteHaha...painful but made me smile at the same time.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the pain, grateful for the smile.
DeleteThank you, sll!
I feel your pain! Great take on the prompt, Kymm.
ReplyDeleteNooo! Back away from the pain!
DeleteThank you, Meg!
Oh my,,,NO!! I feel the old age creeping in. Bring on the pain killers. Awesome take.
ReplyDeleteHehe Funnily enough, I don't feel that old... Thanks for the awesome, Kathy!
