a-z of aging

The ABC's Of Aging

A is for arthritis,

B is for bad back,

C is for the chest pains. Corned beef? Cardiac?

D is for dental decay and decline,

E is for eyesight--can't read that top line.

F is for fissures and fluid retention

G is for gas (which I'd rather not mention and not to forget other gastrointestinal glitches)

H is high blood pressure

I is for itches, and lots of incisions

J is for joints, that now fail to flex

L is for libido--what happened to sex? ... Wait! I forgot about K!

K is for my knees that crack all the time ... But forgive me, I get a few lapses in my

M-memory from time to time

N is for nerve (pinched) and neck (stiff) and neurosis

O is for osteo-for all the bones that crack

P is for prescriptions, that cost a small fortune

Q is for queasiness. Fatal or just the flu? Give me another pill and I'll be good as new!

R is for reflux--one meal turns into two

S is for sleepless nights, counting my fears on how to pay my increasing medical bills!

T is for tinnitus--I hear bells in my ears and the word "terminal" also rings too near

U is for urinary and the difficulties that flow (or not)

V is for vertigo, as life spins by

W is worry, for pains yet found

X is for X ray--and what one might find

Y is for year (another one I'm still alive)

Z is for zest -- For surviving the symptoms my body's deployed, and keeping twenty-six doctors gainfully employed.

Oh my all these are related to aging that is very scary. But we can laugh about it while we are still young and we still can. Great post as always cymbalta! Keep it up. I'm sure our member are enjoying this as much as I do. The humor is great
