Sure, your wife blames it on bike racing and soccer, but it's probably Trump.
I know a guy* who was interviewed by a TV crew. The reporter asked, "What do you know about climate change?"
"Well, my wife says the weather is different every day, so I suppose it must change."
What is your position on health care?"
"My wife says I should take care of myself, so I stop drinking at midnight and do 5 sit ups every Sunday morning."
"Umm, OK. What do you think about Trump's Iran position?"
"Well my wife says she really likes it, but to be honest, it hurts my hips."
Seriously, everyone I've talked to who has had a joint replaced has said they can't believe they waited so long.

I kinda like the cast iron, steam locomotive approach. Old school. That way I can have one of those sweet oil cans the engineers get to carry.
I've heard the same thing both about retirement and joint replacement - "I can't believe I waited so long". Well, I've got the retirement thing down pat. I think I'm pretty darn good at it, actually. Now for the hip.
Funny, though, this came on so fast. I first noticed a problem last spring. It went form occasional, just shake it out to not being able to put weight on it just that fast. It's actually accelerated rapidly in just the last three weeks. It's like it finally wore through the plating, and it's into the soft material underneath.
