Oh the woes of getting old! I hear of people going for knee replacement, hip replacement, cataract removal, etc. etc. ... the list goes on. It looks like as we grow older, the more spare parts we need to get ourselves moving! Amazingly, apart from a row of false teeth in front and a walking stick to help her, my nearly 90 year old aunt is still running around like she was born yesterday. She can drive too, albeit for short distances and only where she can keep turning left! Sigh! Wouldn't it be nice if we can grow younger as we grow older ... you know what I mean. Then we would be happy kids skipping in the park when we reach the age of 90 instead of bent old folks being pushed around in a wheelchair!
