My birthday is today, and I am now 77 years of age. I don't feel any different today than I did yesterday at 67. But there is nothing I can do about time. It is not that bad being 77 because I only feel like I am 80. lol
I went to the Orthopedic doctor this morning about my left knee and both shoulders and was reminded that my problems revolve around ARTHRITIS that was brought about and exacerbated by EXERCISE and BEING ACTIVE.
My first thought was: PISSER...
Hard to believe that trying to be HEALTHY would eventually bite me in the ASS.
On the other side of the coin, when I was 60 years old, I had a triple bypass-level heart attack and the cardiologist said had I not been as healthy as I was, the heart attack would have killed me.
Of course, this was 16 years earlier... I am sure that a decade and a half made a lot of difference.
I will eventually have to have hip and shoulder replacements, but the orthopedic surgeon said he will not do those until I BEG FOR THEM TO BE DONE.
I still believe that I will live into my 90s but I wonder what my physical body will be like almost twenty years from now.
