I've surely gotten old!

I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes,

half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine. I take 40 different medications  that make me dizzy, winded,

and subject to blackouts.

I have bouts with dementia, have poor circulation, hardly feel my

hands and feet anymore. 

I can't remember if I'm 85 or 92, and I've lost all my friends.

But, thank God, I still have my Florida driver's license!

The scary part about that is the amount of truth to it. Florida is one of those places that I have no desire to even visit. I think I was 13 the last time I was there. Have no desire to go back ever again. I will say that Bush Gardens was fun even if it was a large part of the reason I have never been back.

Listen to others but make your own decisions. That way you own the results.

I'm not old. Old loses value.

I'm antique. Antiques gain in value.

That is funny. I feel the same way about NY.  :-D
