“I’ve sure gotten old” said Fred!
“I’ve had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes.

I’m half blind, can’t hear anything quieter than a jet engine,
take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded,
and subject to blackouts.

I have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands
and feet anymore.

I can’t remember if I’m 85 or 92.
And I have lost all my friends.

But, thank God, I still have my driver’s license!”
