You know you're old when...

Doctor to elderly female patient, are you bedridden and she responded not since my husband died 20 years ago.

Shit! I think I can start posting in this thread. For some reason I woke up one day and my eyes are like shit now. I can barely read menus at restaurants and complain they used shitty small font. Never had any issues before.

When the bald spot on your crown grows 2x on a year.

SpeedBuggy · 12-20-2022, 09:43 PM

And replaced with ear hair 🤣

Haha, no bald spots (yet) but I do have some ear hair.

From the web.

As to hair:
...when you were used to visit your hair stylist of your least mistrust three times a year (~bad enough~) and now have to tell him "see you in two years, if something has regrown".

M5Rick · 12-21-2022, 05:16 AM

Buy someone you know with six inch long ear hair a nose/ear hair trimmer for Christmas LOL

No worries, it happens to a lot of men.

And some women. lol

Esteban · 12-21-2022, 09:23 PM

Got results back from some x-rays on my back I had done a little while ago. Normal mild degeneration for someone my age. In other words, arthritis. Oh well, at least it's normal and nothing to worry about.

It still hurts.

More stretching, bending, warming up in the morning. Rub some lidocaine on when it becomes bothersome.

Part of getting older.

M_Six · 12-21-2022, 09:36 PM

If I sit in one place for more than 15 minutes, it takes me 30 seconds or so after I stand up to be able to stand straight. My back stiffens up faster than Quikrete.

Looks like he's showing off his locks of ear hair.

SpeedBuggy · 12-21-2022, 09:49 PM

In that same boat the last 20 years or so, mostly sciatica. The arthritis and degenerative disc has been the biggest issue the last few years. Agree the stretching and exercise helps. A little ibuprofen and Tylenol once in awhile for the arthritis. Sciatica is a whole nother story that includes steroids.

Just learned to know my limitations when it comes to protecting my back.
