I do hate getting old! This is not another rant born out of pure vanity, which thinking about, is my want to do - its the honest reality of growing older.
I lay awake for hours last night unable to get comfortable or block out the perpetual ache in my hip, where do these aches and pains come from? Why do they creep up on you as the years tick by? I was convinced I was about to keel over with a heart attack last week and took myself off to the doctor for a battery of tests that, thankfully, disproved my cardiac arrest theory, but opened a gambit of other possibilities - its a NIGHTMARE! To be honest, since hearing my heart is in perfect working order, I haven't experienced any pain. I was chatting with some girlfriends the other day when one of them asked me what bone density pill I was taking - it hadn't occurred to me that I should be taking anything. I flew into a bit of a panic and asked what other supplements were deemed appropriate for our age? After listening to an endless list of things I should be taking and check ups I should be having, my mind was reeling! My instinctive reaction was to reach for the bottle, pour another large glass of wine and hope for the best. Reflecting on all this upkeep one is supposed to do, I came to the conclusion, I would have little time for anything else - its mind blowing, I'm sure the folk we hear about that live in remote villages in Asia and live for hundreds of years don't take a myriad of supplements every morning.
I have just had a call from my darling husband to say his car has broken down and needs a lift to the airport, maybe we too should also be able to trade our bodies in for a new model when they break down! x
