Getting old sucks


Hate

Recommended Posts

Back home this afternoon - just hoping they got the right meds this time.
Never watched any of the election campaign coverage, nor election night drama - the old ticker doesn’t tolerate any of that clownshow stuff.
But Wednesday I started watching the cable talking heads and apparently all the angst & gloating proved to be too much.

Oh well, the sawbones palace made a few thousand more and my cardiologist probably paid off his Porsche.

I'm not even old yet, I'm only 58, and I can't watch news or following politics anymore. It just makes my Blood Pressure sky high. It gets worse as I get older; I'm probably going to go out like the exploding head guy from scanners.

Back home again from the 3rd ER overnighter this month. 
The clerk & nurses said, “you again?” .
This time they programmed the pacemaker which actually caused part of the runaway heartbeat.
I sweater gawd they’re gonna have my name on that room’s door.
All is good for now.
Am sitting in my new power recliner with two built in cup holders.

Back story: had cataract surgery on the left eye a mo th ago. Kept waking up during the procedure,  sooo when the did the right eye yesterday,  they either changed the anesthesia or increased the the amount.

They knocked you out during cataract surgery?

My doc gave me a 15mg Valium and I was awake throughout. It was actually pretty cool.

Once your brain adjusts to your new perfect vision it is amazing.

Sorry you had a bad experience

Yes apparently they put all their patients under.
