Old age sucks

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. 
Always move forward. Never look back.

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.
I have 100 fish tanks, but two pairs of shoes. The latter is proof that I am still relatively sane. The question is...relative to what?

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. 
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

Frank....DAMN!  You described ME!  You're a fun & funny writer.  It's easy to read the inflections and tones in your humor!  I just had the colonoscopy....You got me wondering....When they put me out did they call in RotoRooter?!?!?!?! How would I know?
Happy Aquariuming,

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.
Always move forward. Never look back.

Barb

Nice horse Liz, do you still have him/her?
Barb

LizStreithorst

Yes.  She is my main horse.  My other horse is there because horses need a companion.
Always move forward. Never look back.
