IT DOESNT SEEM RIGHT that as I have aged I must carry around more stuff! I now must keep up with glasses, hand sanitizer and a handkerchief --(because one never knows about the nose) or what I will dribble on my shirt when I eat. I must keep up with gout medication, thyroid medicine, more keys than ever (I hate keys) I keep a pen and pad as I can remember NOTHING! I found 3 gift cards in my wallet looking for a lost receipt yesterday. I dont know how or where I got them. It is a common occurrence now to find other things I have lost while looking for something else. I sometimes find new products in their unopened package and I cant for the life of me figure out why I bought the thing. Whats up with my skin? I have new spots and new funny looking skin growths every week now. My skin is so thin that I bleed if I scratch it to hard. OH, and I do scratch a lot. I have a tingle in one spot on my back that that never leaves completely I can only reach it with a back scratcher. I never thought I would see the day when I needed a special hook to hang a back scratcher. Skin lotion has its appointed spot as well as my Ibuprofen, natural tears, eye lubricant, eye allergy drops, zyrtec, benedryl, and breath mints because something dies in my mouth every day. I have antacids to help food move down and Miralax to help it move along. I pee every 45 minutes in Morris Code; dash, dash, dot, dot, dash. My ears have been ringing steadily for about 10 years now. The left one is almost deaf and my right one (the good one) is fading fast. I am becoming better at reading lips these days. I stub my toe at least once a week on one of three pieces of furniture. One day I might lose it and sling a certain wooden rocker into the back yard with all my might which by the way is not nearly what it use to be. I no longer buy 100 pound sacks of anything. Two 50 pound sacks are also getting more difficult. Soon Ill be looking for 5 twenty pound sacks. NOBODY prepared me for old for age. They didnt cover any of this stuff in health or biology classes. WHY NOT! Our parents and teachers prepared us for puberty and this is a lot worse.The good news is I have Web MD. I look up my symptoms and sure enough I have almost everything they list!
