"I've sure gotten old!
I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought 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.
Have bouts with dementia; have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.

She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is it?
