    Default Getting old, not for wimps.

    I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees. Fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't remember if I'm 55 or 95. Have lost all my friends. But, thank God, I still have my driver's license.

    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    C'mon man, asking a question like is like lobbing up a nice softball and waiting for someone to hit it out of the park. You know we're full of here.

    I don't know if I would lump all Civics in there, especially when our fearless leader drives one from time to time. You may need to narrow that down to Civic SI owners.

    Besides, his latest purchase clearly places him outside of the wimp category.

    By the way, where are the pictures from yesterday?

    Ya know, me thinks I would take all them medications up to the local drug store and ask the pill filler if any of them are reacting with one another.
    Seriously I had gotten to the point that even coming home from work was very difficult ,I would have to pull over on the side of the road and sleep a while.
    Found out that 2 of the heart medications I take make you sleep , Pharamist suggested talking to doctor about a pill to help. It was a good suggestion I had to get another prescription added to what I take but it has hardly any side affects and counter acts the sleeping all the time
    You may even consider another Doctor . My mom was taking about 10 -12 different medications she changed doctors he cut her medication in half and what she still took even some of it she had reduced . She felt a lot better was able to get around again on her own and cook for herself .
    She finally passed away about 10 years latter at 87 but was able to fend for herself up till then .
    I can't stress enough that anytime you take more than one medicine check with the pharmacist to make sure they work together
    Nearly lost my wife a few years back over reaction to mixing medicines that doctor gave her ,remember a doctor does not have a clue what is reactive the pharmacist does
    \ So check on it
