The Getting Old Sucks Thread

[Darrell Green Fan]

In a 4 month period I was diagnosed with hyper tension, diabetes and prostate cancer. All while caring for my wife after she got her ankle replaced. Worst spring ever.

But it wasn't as bad as it sounds. The blood pressure was fixed with meds, the cancer was a breeze as far as cancer goes. The diabetes was a temporary thing, I was always pre-diabetic and I just got careless.


By just cutting out soft drinks and the 3 Oreos I ate when I first get up I have dropped 20 pounds. Had I known that's all it took I would have done it years ago. I figured I'd have to give up beer, invest in kale and take up jogging.
