I cringe when I hear that old moniker, ‘age is just a number’. Well duh....
My 65 year old self is not my 35 y/o self - well kept or not.

Two days ago, my 73 year old back gave out.

I have no idea what, a pinched nerve maybe, but the pain is excruciating until I get to sit or prone position I don't plan on disturbing for a while

I'll give it another day or two before I panic

But panic is next on the list

"My 65 year old self is not my 35 y/o self - well kept or not."

I judged "old age" differently...
When (22 years ago) I was 65, I looked back over 45-years years of sex and 45-years, on & off, of bodybuilding and voted bodybuilding into first place...
At 78 I crossed them both off the list, but at least I had a young wife...
Now, at 87, the wife turns 82 next Monday and it is too late to find a younger replacement...
OTOH, when we got married in 1960, some of my buddies called me a "cradle robber"... Best thing I ever did...

Oh do I ever hear that, loud and clear!

Each additional DAY past 65 brings more aches and pains, mysterious twinges, irrational bodily functions and the whole lineup of mental oddities.

I used to laugh at the saying that “Youth is wasted on the young” but now it makes sense.
