Don't Grow Old Physically

 

At 76 years of age, my advice to you is DON'T GROW OLD PHYSICALLY...

As absurd as that my sound, it is the truth.

Not growing old MENTALLY is a piece of cake compared to growing old PHYSICALLY...

I'm not talking about things like heart attacks, cancers, diabetes, or other illnesses...  I am talking about the physical construction of your body.

• Hearing loss
• Loss of eyesight
• Arthritis
• Spinal Stenosis
• Joint pain
• Loss of bone strength
• Easily bruised
• Severe muscle strain
• Torn Tendon/Ligaments

For the last three years, I have experienced spinal stenosis, rotator cuff tendon tears, knee tendon tears, large (and soar) bruising, hearing aids needed, disk fusions, and joint pain due to arthritis.

FORTUNATELY...  the ortho docs tell me it is only going to GET WORSE...   obviously tongue in cheek stated.

My wife who is 5 years younger is having problems with severe back arthritis, bulging disks, and hip issues.

I laugh at the TV commercial where this man says at the age of 90 and because he has taken this little pill that he is trying to sell that he has no problems...  He has no problems, not because of the pill, but because his was blessed with a unique body.

HOWEVER, there are pills that one can take to cover up (hide) the pain but that does not mean that the pain is gone...  nor does it mean that you will not get addiction to that pain pill...  addiction due to pain happens all the time.

So, if you are young, enjoy your life while you can because at some point in time your body will start to CRAP OUT ON YOU...
