Title: Old age sucks
Post by: LizStreithorst on March 17, 2013, 06:38:29 PM
My body can hardly do what I expect of it. I hate it and there's little I can do about it.  It will only get worse as time passes.  It's not fair.

Liz, you are in much better shape than many women your age and you know it.  How many of them could do the job you did today in your pasture?  Just keep moving and eat well.  You aren't old.

I can't see. The guy wants to sell me stock in Viagara, My knees sound like a drum solo sequence from a 4 year old kid trying to do Ina Godda davida, I have a headache 16 hours a day, my teeth hurt, shoulder can pop so loud a cop will pull his pistol and sound an alarm for shots fired, eyes burn from this device here, wake up in the middle of the night to pee twice, wake up and my heart is pounding like 9 jillion times a second, doctor says my cholesterol is too high at 162, he's on crack. He says I need to weigh 120, he is crack, they want to stick that camera up my butt, no way, I sat in the waiting room for that with the wife and listened to her screaming, I could do that to myself with the sewer camera. And then..........every older person i ever meet says...Ha, you ain't seen nothin yet.
WTF? F for fudge. Which they say I can't have either.

What sux is pain 24/7.  I too hate not being able to do whatever my heart desires anymore.

My best friend of 42 years now and I laugh as we compare all the changes in what used to be our cute little selves from those 42 years ago.  But we have so many super memories and so many to still accumulate that the aches and pains...well...we gotta move on in spite of them. Can't do all that we used to but we can still laugh a lot.

Happily, hubby who has physical limitations now, cheers us on.

I could have done it six years ago when I looked like this.  Then I got depressed and stared at my shoes for 2 years and lost it.  I want it back but getting it back is very hard when you're over 60.

Yes.  She is my main horse.  My other horse is there because horses need a companion.

Roto rooter leaves a free pencil and a pad of paper. Free well, no, complimentary. No not that either.

Those pics were from 6 years ago.  These days I don't do anything with her except let her be herself.  She is wild caught, but very tame with me.  She trusts nobody else.  I let her out every morning and give her about 12 oz of feed.  I then can go into the fenced pasture and feed the other mare who is a slow eater and needs 32 oz.  The wild one stays out all day in the unfenced pasture while the other gets a flake of hay.  I feed grain again when I get home from work, then toss 3 or 4 flakes of hay into the fenced pasture.  Then my wild one, Patience is ready to be let back into the fenced pasture for the night.

I have read Lyons on Horses.  He is a master of horse training, but I don't care about riding mine, or training her in that way.  She and I have an understanding.  I let her free all day to be wild and she doesn't run off.  She comes like a dog when I call her.  It is good.

Right now she's a woolly bugger, shedding tons of coat.  She doesn't like being touched even by me except for a stroke under her neck or a or a hand on the butt if I go behind her.  Since she doesn't like it, I won't curry her.  I'll just wait for the hair to shed on it's own.  I could do otherwise, but it's part of our agreement.

My horse and I speak a language to one another the only she and I understand.
