Stan, be thankful that modern medicine gives you options (and some hope). Years ago, you'd be crippled up and all you could do would be to sit on the porch with nothing but aspirin.
My mother was in a bad car accident in 1948 and had to wear a brace on her leg the rest of her life. Her one leg was a couple of inches shorter and stiff. (They locked up her knee joint). Had pain in her leg every day, If she was alive today and had that same accident, she'd have a knee replacement and be almost as good as new.
Like a lot of you, I'm starting to notice my body wearing out (I'm 64) but between my heart and cholesterol medications, antibiotics (infected injuries), anti-inflammatory NSAIDs (gout), I get up every day thankful for the advancements in medicine.

I imagine it's going to be a looooong few days until then.
