Feeling older

You know you are getting old when the medical student you met in his first year is now your Cardiologist! The advice is still the same "Take it easy" and "Take your time" is still high on the list!

If I take it any easier my wife would need to push me about in my bed which is against another fav "if you dont use it you loose it". I suppose its the training!

You know your feeling old when during the snow storm neighbours come round to check up if you are OK rather than you checking if the neighbours are OK.

They sent me to a chronic pain clinic which sent me to a big discussion group. All they seemed to talk about was the negatives which I could come up with on my own! It helped to know I was not alone and for me that and a supportive family was enough at that time. Plus I was brought up in its your problem deal with it dont make a fuss!
