Well, we are! Our skin thins out and then they put us on things like Aspirin to thin out our blood. The slightest scratch or scrape turns into a bloodletting.
Changed a headlight in my wife's car Thursday afternoon. Watched a YouTube video to see how "easy" it would be. The first thing the guys said was "I'm changing the passenger side first because it's the easiest to get do." And, of course, the one I needed to change was on the driver's side!
It wasn't all that difficult, other than being in an extremely tight space. Lots of other things you had to reach through and around. Looked like I had surgery with all the blood dripping on the garage floor! My knuckles look like I was in a bar fight!
A little of that "New Skin" super glue stuff for cuts and I was all fixed up. Still have a fist that is bruised looking. Sheesh. Can't do anything without looking like I've been beat up, cut up and tossed in the gutter!!!!
Gettin' old ain't for sissies!!!!!
