AM I SICK?

I remember when I was young and would be visiting with an elderly person and the first and only subject they wanted to talk about was their health. I thought, "When I grow old, I will never talk about my health to anyone."  Well, that little thought went right down the drain.......as we get older it seems to be the primary conversation of all of us. I remember my Grandmother telling me about her bunion........."What the hell is a bunion?" I thought with an absolute straight face, "could it be brain cancer.......that poor soul!"  No, it turned out to be a bump on my Grandmothers toe which she loved to show me at each visit. I can remember walking into her home and she would be sitting there with her false teeth out and that foot with the bunion positioned proudly on the foot stool for all to see.  I shuddered........now, sadly, I can relate.........sigh. Each morning I carefully take my pills, thyroid, blood pressure, hormone, blood thinner and my omeprazole......to keep all of these pills from burning a hole in my stomach........what a joke........how did I get here?! Well, this will be my one and only blog on health. I guess we each have our own plight as far as health and we each would like to relate all our stories.........I just hope I can carry on for a few more years.......I think about Willie Nelson, he has partied hardy all of his life.  Drank whiskey and smoked pot through it all and look at him......still out there performing at 80!  I guess this suggests we can be vegans, we can be on all kinds of health kicks but its in your genes folks.  Long live Willie!
