I get blood drawn every couple of months and it’s honestly no big deal. Especially if I get a young technician 😳
But when some older nurse 😂 handles it, she starts rambling and repeats the same thing ten times, telling me not to watch the needle go in... I usually have to tell her right off the bat that I'll be fine 😉

As for donating blood... I’ve got anemia, so I can't really do it. But I did once back in high school... seeing that needle 🙄 was scary, but there was this young tech there, so I sucked it up and stayed brave 🥳 just to maybe help someone out 🙂

I’ve got this young gynecologist now and she’s fantastic. 👍 🙏 Super kind and gentle, too. 😳 😁

I used to see an older doctor before, and honestly, I wasn't a huge fan. Not that he was terrible or anything, just didn't click. 🤷

doesn't mean much to me🤷

Same here.👋

Found this on another forum...

"Osteoarthritis hits later in life because calcium builds up in the bone, creating calcifications. This causes the bones to grind against each other, leading to damage. That’s why you see so many seniors heading in for hip replacements..."

Basically, wherever there's a joint, you can get calcification... which is why your knuckles pop when you crack them." "

Honestly, I have no idea how much of that is actually true. 🤷

🤣

Every time I stand up or squat, my joints sound like a bowl of Rice Krispies.

🤣

So, you aren’t the only one dealing with this "issue" at our age.

Supposedly, it’s just calcium buildup...
but maybe get someone actually smart to explain it to you.
