You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Indeed it is. What happened to the days when our bodies took care of themselves quietly as long as we ate some pizza or ramen and got a few hours sleep?

Yes, please give me the "healthy and in my mid-twenties" package. This late 40s version is BULLSHIT.

Preach. I remeber very well the first time a doctor said something like, "...a little bit of arthritis and a bone spur there. We'll send you to PT." But like, no "It'll clear up in a month or so." Just, yup, that's in your life now.

The sad thing is I’m almost certainly healthier and in better shape than I was in my 20s, for the most part…and yet time still has me messed up. Boooo.

Our wings are not tired

I'm glad to have the procedure done my my head, but last night and today the site with the stiches is aching quite a bit. I can remove the intial bandage tomorrow morning and then I can rinse the area and get into wound care on it so that it doesn't scar.
