Sudden old age onset

I am officially getting old. I think I might be getting arthritis. My hips and knee hurt sometimes. And sometimes my left shoulder. But worst of all, lately, my right ankle-you know-the one that got a stiletto heel through it once-it has started hurting. Often. It creaks and cracks when I move it. It gets cricks in it, which is a really strange thing, getting a crick in your ankle. Both of my parents have ostheo-arthritis, which is genetic. Yay! Mom has a little rhuematoid as well. I don't think that one is genetic, but really I'm talking out of my ass here, so I could be wrong. How very annoying. I don't care about being old, I just don't want to be a cripple.

you need a new skeleton. i saw one on ebay going for pretty cheap. actually you should get a bone density test. i think. i dunno. what am i, a doctor?

Well, that's the small price you pay for the superability of weather divination. You know...cause you can feel the storm in your bones sort of thing. Anyhoo, I think the only solution is to clone you now, so that your clone will be hitting about twenty when you are really starting to fall apart...then, BLAMMO!, brain transplant all of your problems away. Ah, isn't mad science wonderful.

Man. Now I have to decide whether to go with the new skeleton idea or the clone idea. I mean, the skeleton has the advantage of making things better right now, but the clone means a beautiful new me just when I'm looking pretty dowdy in twenty years. Hmm. Looks like I have some thinking to do.

Ooh! Ooh! Both! A new skelly now, a whole new body later. Let's get started right away...you bring the topical, and I'll bring the kitchen knif....the scalpel. Cainnum, your job is to find a suitable skeleton...try to find one made out of some sort of super durable yet flexible alloy. Home surgery is fun!
