Getting Older Sucks!

I turned 69 years old on November 22, 2012. I still feel MUCH younger than that, however. My physical body may be getting older, but my mind is still somewhere in between TEEN & TWENTY!

I have fallen to the health awareness ritual of a senior citizen. Or, might I say medicare patient. Which has brought me to the conclusion that getting older really does suck!

In spite of my cardio rehab all summer long, and my daily walking of the big community block here taking me into the arrival of the brisk fall air, I succumbed to another mild heart attack on the first of November. That put me back into the heart lab for another stent in an artery across the front of my heart.

I'm all fixed up now. I don't go back to my cardiologist until five months from now.

I appreciate every waking day. I appreciate my partner even more than ever. I appreciate my kids and grandkids and dwell less on the every day problems that they incur.

Life is good. I am happy.
