Getting old

[CCTAU]

His Instagram profile says he's 51 and likes cats. Not sure that means real cats or just dressing up like one at Halloween.

Does it really matter....

You're right. Equally bad.

I honestly don’t know.

I do know that he has several turtleneck sweaters with pictures of cats on them.

And, yes, I do find it a little odd. But to each his own.

Yep.  It's like this knee deal.  Apparently it's just gonna hurt at some level from now on.  Most days it's tolerable. Some less so.  When I play golf, I'll limp for a day or two afterward.

What does a big, white whale from a fiction novel have to do with any of this?

You just like talking about it because it’s the big Dick, don’t you?

That's a good choice taken properly.
I said water because it became apparent to me that I wasn't hydrating properly and once I started the old pains eased a good bit.

Yoga is something that I would like to try for overall well being only I think it would require a total overhaul in my lifestyle.

* Some of the elder guys here will know the name John Riggins, thundering running back formerly with the Jets and more notably, the Redskins in their glory years. Definitely one of the odd characters to play in the league for many years.
You might recall the Sandra Day O'Connor incident.

Anyway, I found it facinating reading about this wild man's total transformation with yoga and holistics so you might check it out as you're passing time waiting to see your physician.

No offense but some of the posters that are posting would actually need the thread title to read “got old” and not “getting old”.

There are several very decrepit looking people that I am personally aware of. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that they are still trying to contribute to society. But honestly, we all know that they are just in the way at this point.

I can't see shit up close anymore
Can't remember shit
my feet hurt ALL THE TIME
I am sore almost every morning when I wake up
I get up most nights to pee at least once
I now take a low dose BP medication
Hair is totally grey
Can't drink near as much without debilitating hangovers

All this started at about 47.  It is full blown now that I have turned 50

Thank god I can still take care of business in the sack, but I'm sure that is not far from being a problem.

I believe in the hereafter.  Because every time I walk into a room, I stop and ask myself, "What am I here after?"

Reading through all this, I didn't realize I was on here with so many old people.

[GH2001]

A wet fart you didn't know was coming. That's cruel.

[Snaggletiger]

your balls?

I've got my good eye on you.

Lyrica helps alot though you may need cialis.

This is the reality.   Every bit of this. 

Vision: One day everything was fine.  The next I couldn't read the writing on a prescription bottle.  It was literally that quick and it hit about 48 or so.  That led to reader/cheaters.  That led to having a pair in my truck, a pair by the bed, two pair in the LR, a pair in the kitchen.  That led last year to full-time glasses.  Contacts won't help and neither will surgery.

Memory:  Gaps. Will start a sentence and lose the word in the middle of it.  Get up and go into a room and can't remember what I went in there for.  Things get scattered.  I KNOW what a flamingo is, but over the last few years (thanks to Scarface I think) I say pelican every time.  Every time.  Simple tasks like cleaning the house evade me.  I decide to clean up the living room and pick up a glass, go to the kitchen to drop it in the sink, decide to wipe the counter but need more paper towels.  Go to the closet to get paper towels and notice I'm running low on 409.  Decide to go to Target.  Go to get dressed, notice that my dirty clothes bin is full so I decide to put that in the washing machine.  Forgot I had clothes already in the dryer so I get them out and take them to the living room to fold.  See there's a mess on the coffee table and start to straighten that out.  Take a bag of chips to the kitchen. Decide to wipe the counter off...    I can work for two hours and nothing gets done. 

Foot pain:  Every morning.  Hobble to the bathroom when I get up.  Eventually eases up most days, but sometimes it doesn't.  Things like Disney almost kill me.

Random pain:  Something hurts every morning.  Shoulder, head, elbow, knee, ankle... Never know what it's gonna be. 

Pissing:  Not getting up every night, but when I have to go, I have to go.  Not a lot of leeway. 

Meds:  Don't take BP medicine, but I'm taking about six other things. 

Hair:  Not grey, but a lot of it fled. I hate that to the point I've considered having it put back in -- the true indicator of vanity.

Drinking:  Don't have hangovers. Never have.  But I only drink wine, rum and vodka for the most part. If I had hangovers I'd quit and never do it again.

Sack: No problems BUT as much as I hate to admit this it seems less important than it once did.

Get tested for testotrone level. I have injections monthly and that helps alot with tiredness. Foot pain could be a sign of a serious condition, please read this:  https://www.everydayhealth.com/foot-health/foot-pain-can-signal-serious-conditions.aspx

Much of the above^^

Hair: Not much hanging on so I pretty much keep it shaved tight.  #1 blade, please.

Vision:  Cheaters in every room, especially the library.  (Bathroom)  I can see fine far off, at night to drive etc.  Can't read for shit without good light and cheaters.

Pains:  Yeah, I got em'.  But I work out a lot so I tell myself that's where it's all coming from.

Memory:  I'll also be in the middle of a sentence

Sack:  Ditto.  No problems with the lead in the pencil.  Just not as interested as often.  Would rather watch a good ball game sometimes than trying to make the effort.

Oh well, it's all good.
