It comes to us all.

It comes to us all one day, but I sure feel like i'm getting old.

 

I've had two bypass surgeries you know. a hip replacement,

 

two new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes, i'm half blind, and can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine at take-off power, even with new batteries in my hearing aid.

 

I take 40 different medications a day that are inclined to make me a bit dizzy, short-winded, blurred vision and subject to blackouts.

 

Have bouts with dementia, (but can't remember when), and poor circulation;

 

Can hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.

 

Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92.

 

Have lost all most of my friends. but thank God for Rec/Aus, I still have my pilots certificate.

 

At least this way, if I climb till it won't go any higher, i feel i'm a bit closer to getting to heaven. ;););) Anyone got a plane I can borrow to go for a fly?

 

Don't laugh, this is serious stuff!! For me this started years ago
