Tell tale sign of old age - ARTHRITIS

I have self-diagnosed arthritis in my right middle finger. My distal IP is hurting like a bitch. I know this because of the ease of learning shit today on the web. Anybody can google "parts of the finger" and come up with a diagram and an explanation. So yeah, my distal interphalangeal joint hurts (it's the closest joint to the nail). My metacarpal interphalangeal (the big joint) is also causing me some pain.


The good news is I can still flip the bird. No pain. And after my favourite salutation, I can still place my hand at 270ยบ and suggest you do the same with the horse you rode in on.

The bad news is I'm getting old. Today it's one little booboo finger, tomorrow it's a fucking disfigured gnarled and painful mess of a hand that'll say nononono, no more jerking off for you!
