Here I go into old age

Yep here I go, the slow but sure decline into old age. What’s brought me to this earth shattering conclusion? Arthritis in my right hip, arthritis being one of the obvious indicators that you have reached the precipice of old age and there is no going back now. I’ll make the most of my declining years and do my best to recapture my youth, but now theirs is no denying I’m ‘old’, no saying ‘age is just a number’ and telling people that ‘I’ll never be old’. The mind may still be young but now when it tries to tell my body that ‘I’m still young’ my body says ‘not anymore mate!’. The pain in my right hip and lower back is real making me make choices I’ve never had to make before. Should I do this or should I do that? Which is going to cause me most pain and which is going to take me longer? Ahh well, old age comes to us all and it’s finally come to me, I’ve finally become a Last of the Summer Wino!
