I hate getting older!!!

Just back from Os trip. No probs. while away except for a really bad period with the back - caused by the passengers seat in a new Corolla!!!:~

Had a couple of visits to the chiro since getting back but also had an x-ray of the hips as they have been giving me curry. Turns out I have OA
in both as I suspected. Will have to see the stem cell guru when we go to Sydney next month as I have no desire to swallow pain killers forever.:no:

Eyesight is deteriorating and I need news specs.:(

The shunt is working well but I have had a few problems with Dyslexia/aphasia type problems. Have to see the brain drain expert next month! More tests!!:(

Good news is that the ticker is fine and the weight I lost has stayed that way - well most of it.:)

Ah more pills to take. Add fish oil, krill oil and glucosamine, plus rub some Comfrey Cream (from health shop) on all the joints works for me (knees, wrists, elbows, shoulders and 1 ankle).

It's not good this getting old crap :-

If my name is not in the alphabetical list in the morning paper, I reckon it is a good day. :)

Not always sure of that, but I have pills for that too :rolleyes:

I had a colonoscopy last week. They wanted to put me out with propofol which I declined. The anesthesiologist asked a bunch of questions. Eventually she said that getting old means "We pendulate and you guys dangle." LOL!

Now that joyful occasion is complete, next month I get a knee replacement. It's the left one but I can tell that in about 5 years the right one will need to be done also.
