New phraseology has come into play as I advance in years. The things I experience or should not experience because of my age amaze me.
For instance, one of my buddies had pneumonia recently;
the doctor said , "well at your age, you probably feel bad most of the time." No, she replied I'm not on any medication and I enjoy an active retirement.
The other thing I wonder about at our age is why with creaking joints and bionic body parts our tickets are often in the nosebleed section at sporting events. Yes, it's true, my beloved and I attended the Baylor Lady Bears VS. UConn on Sunday night. While we were creeping down the stairs hoping the knees would not give way, students and other people younger than we were bounding down the steps below us. At least they weren't above us as they surely would have mowed us down.
Let's think for just a moment about the "senior moments", the catchall for the times you wonder why you are standing in the middle of the guest room, forget what you had for lunch or if you took all of your medications.
