Old Age and Pills

When I was much, much younger I often wondered why old folks sat around and talked and talked about their aches, pains, pills, operations, doctors, etc. I now know why.

My brother and his wife recently visited for several days. He and his wife are in their late seventies. My wife is in her late seventies. I'll be 82 in December. There was a lot of conversation about our aches, pains, pills, etc., etc.

The sad commentary is that as we age those things become very much a part of our daily lives.
