Get out and go... while you still can! (A whiney rant)

Brother-in-law was a painter all of his life - knees were junk. He delayed and delayed getting knee replacement. Finally when he could hardly walk anymore he had them done. Somehow talked the doc into doing both at once . Afterward, he kept saying - I should have done this years ago. It changed the quality of his life and he was sorry he hadn't taken care of it sooner, to enjoy life sooner.
