I am 83, and like the rest of you I am falling apart.
It used to be only one thing at a time, but alas, my body has learned to multi-task.
The constant pain these ailments cause has increased and the level goes up with each failure.
My brain, hearing, and eyesight, not wanting to be left out, are going along with the general plan.
Other than that I seen to be doing OK.
My (insert your favorite curse words here) doctor told me that I should last at least another 20 years.
I know that he is a wise man because he stayed out of punch in the nose range as he gave me the good news.
I feel that the good get to die young so that they can avoid these wonderful 70 plus years, and me as a reward for my pre 50 behavior, the Good Lord decided that I should be rewarded with the life span that I deserve.
I should have listened to my Mama.
