I'm Too Young To Be Old

I went to a bone scan this afternoon, following months and months of pains in my knees and the orthopedist's suspicion that it might be arthritis. "Heh, you're too young to have something like that", chuckled the doctor who did the test.

"Listen dude", said I, "When I was sixteen and had kidney stones, everyone said I was too young to have kidney stones. When I was 27 and had DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis), everyone said I was too young to have DVT. So now... You say I'm too young for this. But the way I see it, the whole 'too young' thing doesn't work for me..."

When the picture of my knees appeared on the screen, the doctor said "Hmmm, yeah, there's definitely a problem there". So in a few days, it's back to the orthopedist to see what can be done.

Not that I'm whining or anything. I'm too old to be whining.
