A few medical matters are combining to make me feel rather miserable lately: A painful tooth problem making eating difficult, increasing arthritic issues, and a painful left hip & gluteus maximus which makes even sitting at my computer uncomfortable. Bahhhh!!!

I hear you, I am fighting a kidney stone which is too large to pass. Will have it broken up on 9/2.
IIt is always something as we get older.

Yep, nkat, it takes 'grit' and perseverance to inhabit an aging body. |

Gettin' old ain't for sissies!! "Popped" a hip last week. Believe, now, it's just a bad muscle pull. "Good knee", is becoming more painful each year and may need replaced. A neck injury from years ago keeps flaring up. Anything I touch seems to make me bleed. But, life is good!!! I just keep playing golf and mowing our lawn and working around the house and... Afraid if I sit, I'll deteriorate more than if I keep doing stupid things to my old body.
Wife says her coffee group limits the amount of time anyone can talk about their aches and pains. Otherwise, the entire morning will be complaining.
Guess what bothers me are the growing number of folks I either went to school with, have been acquainted with through life, or have watched on tv over a lifetime and they are dying off. Really makes one think about mortality. Or, listen to the granddaughters talk about work at the nursing home and hope I don't end up not knowing where I am or who I am or who my family members are.
Watched a new movie, yesterday, with Cheryl Ladd. She should still look like she did in Charley's Angels!!! She doesn't. She looks older and and has a few more wrinkles. Why?? Those "heartthrobs" from our early years should still look like they did back then!!!!
Will head back to the golf course tomorrow, no matter what hurts or aches when I wake up. Will give thanks for every day I can walk out of the house under my own power and drive off, knowing the time is nearing they'll take away my keys and put me in "storage".
