Definition of "OLD"

 I've sure gotten old!

 I have outlived my feet and my teeth,

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.

These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says,'For fast relief.'

Geez that was depressing.

That was fun and oh so true, yet how many 85 to 90 year olds who are still alive and moving say,"they are as sharp as a tack and feel years younger"!  I do know of someone though who is 84 and still works as a politician and seems to be really well and with it mentally.

People aren't "old" just because they have been here a long time.  They get old when they stop enjoying life.  

We just had a Birthday party and dance for friends that were 85, 90 and 95!  Lively group, still going strong!
