    My wife: Getting old sucks.

    Me: It beats the alternative:

    My wife after a few moment of reflection: Not by much.

        The full story there is that we were at an Orthopedic urgent care. My wife has danced Ballet since she was 4. A bad jump resulted in a 5th metatarsal fracture, commonly referred to as a “dancer’s break” and a severely sprained ankle. She was in a boot and crutches for 5 weeks. Her ankle literally had all the colors of a sunset. The Orthopedist took her shoe an sock off and actually gasped.

          Omg hope she ended up healing up ok after a while. I know I’ve heard after a break that people don’t necessarily always fully heal which sucks.
