Aging

Songstress April 6th, 2022

Yesterday a cashier gave me the senior discount. Today my husband got a cane due to knee problems. I’m 48, he’s 51. I don’t consider us that old, but apparently we’re getting there. It’s kind of a downer. I’m coming off a recent hospitalization, needed my bipolar meds adjusted. Facing life can be hard after that insulated environment sometimes.

The transition after a hospitalization is tough, @songstress. I feel you on that. I'm glad you got your meds adjusted. Please be gentle with yourself, especially right now. I'm sorry that cashier reacted to you in that way. I wonder if perhaps they were just trying to be kind, but I understand how it could make you feel down too. I promise 48 and 51 is not old! Hang in there.

Don't know how you feel about this, but you could have a solid 40 years left
