An Interesting Thought...and a Creepy One

I was thinking that a hip replacement is a good rehearsal for old age. You use a walker or a cane to get around, can't move very fast, need help with simple tasks like tying your shoes, and strangers on the street are very nice about opening the doors and helping you.

Then I had a second, scarier thought. What if this isn't a rehearsal?

you don't have to worry about that. People will always be nice to you Jim - walker, no walker, cane, no cane. You're just the kind of person everyone wants to be nice to. So glad your recovery is going well and you are getting around. You know, you'll have to start smoking a pipe to complete the image with the cane :-) and get a dog!
