Getting Old Ain't For Sissies


During a recent gathering of a dozen or so high school friends the conversation turned to what prescription drugs we were taking. As the discussion went around the circle and the discussion of what statin drugs each was taking, who was on blood pressure medication, blood thinners, etc., it occurred to me that we were getting old. ese
A further survey revealed two hip replacements, four total knee replacements, one quadruple bypass, a couple of cancer surgeries and some other recent minor surgeries.
And, for the most part, these guys are in pretty good physical condition for 1962 high school graduates.

In addition to various physical ailments, topics of politics, 401ks and the Astros surfaced.

The real indicator of the fact that we were getting old was when we realized not one time did the subject of "girls" come up.
