…eating lunch and dinner with a group of old farts. It’s not happening. The joint replacement wing can suck it.
Maybe an old person thrives in a group rah rah sis boom bah setting, but I’m not old. In case no one noticed.

1 thing I will NOT be doing in the hospital…
It's not a bomb, it's just my hip replacement... 
Maybe they’d enjoy eating with a young whippersnapper. LOL!!
I’m sure they would. But they can find another whippersnapper cause being around a group of nothing but old people is gonna stress me the F out.
You’re making me think of that new show on WeTV…Sunset Daze. LOL! My FIL got his knee replaced around Thanksgiving and he was the youngest there at the time. LOL! He refused to eat anywhere but in his room.
Thank goodness I’m not the only one! ha
I mean, really, I get that older people need support and encouragement in order to return to their fast paced lives of knitting and napping, but this is a completely different situation for someone my age. The nurse agreed once I made that point (with much less snark, of course) and she acted like she’d never had that thought. Come on. Why would you think that someone who is 28 would have the same needs as someone over 65? I find that pretty unreasonable. I guess I have to cut them a little slack since they rarely see people like me, but still.
Also, I think as a patient I’ll get a little ripped off if I have to be lumped in a group of elderly people. Their questions, concerns, needs, etc…won’t be the same as mine. And I wouldn’t feel comfortable asking questions that are important to how I live. The nurse even told me the stupid little book they give out is meant for old people. Much of the suggestions it gives are totally irrelevant to me.
Stupid. All of it!
you’re having this done at Lakeside right? I’ll bring you some Roja and sneak you in a margarita!
I sure am! OMG a chicken fajita from Roja would be the bomb! And a margarita… Yummmmm… *drool*
That’s ok when I had my back surgery at 32 my surgeon laughed he had never performed it on someone under 70. I didn’t laugh.
Seriously! People think it’s funny. I mean, it sort of is, but it’s not really funny when it’s a doctor telling you how young you are. Suck it!
I forgot about your surgery. You got shorter, didn’t you?
