T O D A Y

Today has been another good day other than the fact that I did not fall asleep the night before until after 2:00 am which is not typical for me and could have been caused by my cancer meds or by my Thyroid meds and/or condition.  Going to sleep at that hour would not have been that bad, had it not been for the fact that I also woke up 3 times during the night to PISS which points to a problem with my prostate.  Straying away from routine causes my bowels to go on vacation as well as I am sure that they think they need a break as well.

Being 72 puts me in the old age category whether I like it or not with the only exception being that someone in their seventies is younger than someone in their eighties who is younger than someone in their nineties...  BUT, all three decades of age are still considered OLD AGE...

AND, one must also understand that just because one walks a mile on the treadmill and peddles a stationary bike for 20 minutes does not mean that their body is fully conditioned to perform whatever manual labor needs to be performed around the house, especially since I have arthritis in my shoulders, hips, knees, and back.

Sometimes in the late afternoon, my stomach starts to act up and I cannot tell if I am experiencing nausea, acid reflux, or that I just need to eat something.  My first choice is to eat something then have some saltine crackers with a coke and if that doesn't work, I usually take 3 GAS X tablets...
