Ever feel this old? Funny ?
 
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked,
'How old was your husband?' '98,' she replied...
'Two years older than me'
'So you're 96,' the undertaker commented.
She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is it?
***************

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 85 or 92.
Have lost all my friends. But, thank God,
I still have my driver's license..
******************

I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape,
So I got my doctor's permission to
Join a fitness club and start exercising.
I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.
I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But,
By the time I got my leotards on,
The class was over.
********************

It's scary when you start making the same noises
As your coffee maker..
********************

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
Also, my memory's not as sharp

Panty hose? What are those?? Probably won't match my slippers!

Yes, I am feeling older every day, but nothing like a good laugh to make one feel better.

Yep, some of those old people are still on the road with a driver's license. I tried to have patience because when I get that age I am going to fight to keep my independence too

Thanks for a great chuckle on my birthday, today...86, but I don't have ALL these problems, not yet! Because I'm still quilting, gardening, house cleaning, writing stories, cat catering and volunteering...I haven't time YET!

Someone young asked an elderly woman how it felt to be old...her reply was "put some sharp stones in your shoes, stuff cotton in your ears and smear vasaline on your glasses and you'll get some idea"

Body totally out of shape - just had a knee replacement and that's what I do while trying to put those Ted hose (aka hospital designer socks.) :)
