Scheduled Maintenance

As the years go by we all hope we will age gracefully retaining the best of health for as long as possible.

For myself I didn’t notice any significant aging signs (except hair loss) until my early fifties when my body seemed to go through a two year or more major change during which time I suffered heart palpitations, bleeding gums, frayed ligaments and a multitude of other ails, but came through feeling healthier, fitter, taller (2mm believe it or not) and arguably more intelligent, which has been pretty cool!

Since then things haven’t been too bad, I have succumbed to the usual loss of hair color and I now require glasses to read, but apart from that not much else......... Until now.

Over the last few of months I have noticed a couple of subtle changes and am wondering whether my body is undergoing an internal upgrade, kind of like a scheduled maintenance, replacing a few worn out parts, making some repairs etc.

Anyone experienced anything like this?

I will be 61 in a few months and yes already feeling the age. planning on taking early retirement at 62 and yes feeling some of the things you are going through.
I hope I can enjoy retirement but must face the fact there are going to be problems with health later on must must do my best to enjoy life as much as possible.

I have worked hard all my life, need the life of relaxing as much as I can drinking rolling on the floor laughing
I think ageing is a bit like the Euro NCap crash test for cars, we build up age, getting faster as we go along & unlike NCap which do there test at 40 we hit the concrete block, full speed, at 60 doh A temporary solution might be to remove all the mirrors from your house professor at least that way you can't see the damage laugh rolling on the floor laughing mind it doesn't do a thing about feeling it doh beer
No, but you're making me nervous. I thought I had done with all the changing a couple of years ago and there would only be a slow - very slow - deterioration as the years piled on. Maybe it's a man thing. grin
Well chaps I think you should just be glad you're not a woman.

With our hormone changes many often feel totally out of control and very much like we're in someone elses body.

Could it be one of yours perhaps?

My nurse daughter-in-law says I have more tablets than her medicine cabinet at work.

I assure her that they are all repeated remedies.

Well there you have it! I just don't know what the hell I'm talking about. It's this alien body I'm occupying and not really me at all.

Being the gentleman that I am I shall refrain from posting the comment that popped into my head on reading your last post.

I'm absolutely relieved you didn't reply to that as I'm sure I'll be regretting it soon enough.

Well, just like to schedule in some maintenance, preferably on a regular basis. wink

Does that count? laugh
