A sign of the times, I sit at home most weekday evenings with an icepack and IM session. As a baby boomer I have seen my body change almost as drastically as technology has changed.
I remember our 1st TV, our first color TV, that night that man landed on the moon and a whole host of other advances in technology. I remember when Russia was the enemy and now I IM with my peers in Russia on regular bases where we not only talk about work, but traffic jams, the weather and family. Today we have relationships through blogs, Twitter and text messages that we would not have had without technology.
As for my body it has gone from where “no pain, no gain” was my motto to ‘no pain, not breathing’ is my reality. I used to exercise to get my body to do and achieve things it was never meant to do. Now I exercise to try and avoid having a knee replacement at the age of 52 and be able to play soccer with my granddaughter.
Icepacks and IM, you just have to smile.
