The double whammy of aging! I work with several colleagues that are my same age. We're all going through physical therapy at various points for something or other. Our shorthand for any of this stuff is "getting old sucks." (We also talk about how we wouldn't go back to 20 for anything though, because even though we get hurt more easily and take longer to heal its nice to be established, independent, have more wisdom, etc.)
