JB, my dad is 87. And a half.

 

My dad never made it that far so cherish every day.

 

It is interesting to see all these 80 and 90 somethings. I live in a small town (pop. just a little over 600). This week we have both a 95-year birthday and a 99-year one.

I'm sure you'll get a better diagnosis than the internet one! :)

 

Good luck.

Lol. Although when I had tennis elbow, the ortho doc wasn't sure that's what it was, said it might be RTS. Then went on to say that he'd give me a cortisone shot anyway and if that didn't work we'd talk surgical options. I'm like 'wtf.' Doesn't know what it is and wants to do surgery? So I went to the internet, looked up RTS, which is often diagnosed as tennis elbow but isn't, and came up with my own treatment plan and took it back to my GP who signed off on it.

Well, diagnosis is an art not always a science. :)

 

And some docs are more artful than others.

Yeah. I do. His sister just passed away this past October, 2 months after her 100th birthday.

It's a shame that Willy didn't catch that ball, but most of this is on Perk. Bert is right...he never leaves the ball up as much as he is tonight.

 

How bout a 6-4-3 for Gillespie
