Growing older

GeorgiaMa'am · 07-14-2023, 10:00 PM

my hair dresser: Is the same one I have had for 30-something years. We're the same age, so I'm hoping he outlasts me. He makes me gorgeous.

my plumber: Still searching for The One.

my physician: I've been with her for about 20 years and she is awesome.
She's younger than me, so I've got high hopes.

my financial advisor: Younger than me by a good 10 years. He'll do.

my therapist: He's rapidly approaching retirement age. I don't know what I'm going to do without him - except hope he has someone he can refer me to.

Overall: I didn't expect to get this sick, this young. On the other hand, I didn't expect to get this old. I always vaguely suspected I would do something stupid that would end in my demise at a fairly early age. Now I'm older and wiser, and will likely die of some illness. I just hope it isn't awful.

Growing older certainly is no fun. If you don't fall ill with something life threatening then falling and getting seriously injured is next on the agenda. Last but not least you are in an accident and that my friends is no fun. A moving truck took the passenger side of my van almost totally off while I was parked and he decieded to back up on a one way hill. I myself was not in the van, I was behind it unloading things. Well I will say no more . I have been home recouping since the ambulance took me at the end of May and am getting daily massage and leg exercises done at home with a therapist four days a week. I am hoping my back improves but it does not seem likely.
SO old age is hard to take and hard to look after so if you are young, do it. Look after YOU. Enjoy life as you are able and as my dear sweee mother use to say, If you have a chance to sit it out or dance DANCE. She loved that song.
