Also, my memory seems to be fading fast.

I wear prescription glasses. I’m positive that the print is just smaller than it used to be...

45 - the other day, I had to remove an eyebrow hair that practically was long enough to connect to the hair on my temple. Also, the last two days, I have had pretty noticeable tricep soreness. In thinking about what it may be from, I realize it is from plunging the toilet Tuesday.

45 - Probably about 5-10 years ago I was playing video games and talking to a young gamer friend. He started talking about old-school rap like DMX and Tupac. What am I supposed to call Run DMC, Newcleus and Grandmaster Flash now?

This! Exactly this! Every part of this - me!
Also, my memory of names, places, etc has gotten bad. It scares me sometimes, like it’s early Alzheimer’s.
Heart burn for anything. I used to eat pizzas at midnight and not gain a pound and sleep like a baby.
Got bifocals, so I quit wearing my contacts because I had to wear readers most of the day. Had about 10 pairs scattered in the house, cars and office.
In bed by 9 evey night, usually asleep by 10. Awake at 2 to pee. Back to sleep and awake at 4 and can’t go back to sleep until a half hour before I have to wake up.

53-i’m a wreck because of my spinal injury, but the meds i take daily are almost comical. i mean, i don’t feel that bad, but you’d never know it from this list;
baby aspirin, hyzaar, norvasc, lyrica 3x,, lamisil, lipitor, singulair, flonase. if i can beat my current case of non athletes foot i can dump the lamisil.

*I've worn glasses since my early 20s. Been wearing tri-focal progressives for about 10 years .... this past year I had to get a second pair of glasses specific for reading my work monitors. Had to measure the distance to them and take that to the doc. Can't read what is in my hand with them on, have to swap glasses for that.
*My kids turn 31 and 27 this year.
*Expecting my first grandchild in June.
*Carrying a piece of paper in your wallet that lists your current medications and previous surgical procedures.
*Realizing the year 2100 is only 81 years away AND there are people (kids) alive today that will live to see it.
The list is long

I need readers. That came on suddenly about 7-8 months ago. I've yet to get any - fighting that every step of the way.
I get colds more often and it takes me longer to fight them off.
My movie quotes/references just get crickets now. They used to kill.
And I'm just so tired now - although I chalk that up to having a four year old and 18 month old. Not that I'm old or anything.
One of my biggest tells - the milfs have just gotten hotter and hotter. Sometimes moreso than the tight-bodied twenty-somethings.

There are surgeries I need that I'm just putting off.
There will times that I feel like I need to wipe my ###, even hours after I've pooped. Especially if I'm doing a lot of walking.Someone please tell me I'm not alone here.

42 - I am able to pull/injure something with such arduous tasks like starting a lawn mower or or pulling liquor from the top shelf.
@the moops - exactly. I can still run, jump, move and play well...... until it happens. Usually right when I start feeling pretty good about myself again.
I go to bed before my 12 year old.
Crows feet.
On the plus side - I do count myself lucky, many of my friends are going down with serious injuries, I am just perpetually dinged up in some way. I feel very comfortable about who I am, my family is turning out better than I ever hoped, my circle of friends is smaller but more solid than ever, fewer worries/fears/insecurities, full head of hair and my gray hairs are more like sexy silver highlights.

So many friends are having various surgeries or procrastinating on them... I figure I can't be far behind.

36, I used to roll/sprain my ankles all the time as a teenager and would be playing basketball the next day. Now I sprained my ankle a YEAR ago and it still hurts.
Jammed my thumb playing basketball. Used to be a forgettable injury. Now it's been 6 weeks and I still can't pull open a bag of potato chips.

I really wish my 16-25 year old self could see me now. I would be taking PT seriously and not trying to be a hero and come back from injuries too quickly. Oh how I wish my thumb/shoulder/elbow/ankle/back/toe/heel/finger/etc didn't all decide in the middle of the night which one(s) would be my ##### for the day

49. Eyes. Only the eyes. I have however gone the other way 3 months ago. Started lifting 3 months ago. Go 4x a week. Feels great. Don’t lift anything close to what I use to but otherwise feels great!
oh losing weight is MUCH more difficult now. Quit drinking completely 15 months ago and figured I’d drop 20 easy. Didn’t happen. I need to really watch what I eat if I want to lose weight now.

I’m 56 and kind of lucky in some senses, BP/cholesterol is great, not taking any medications, generally good health.
Lack of sleep is main complaint, like others have to use bathroom during night every single night. Also have restless leg syndrome which is freaking maddening, though only periodic. When it hits though...a whole nights sleep lost, often consecutive nights.
Vision sucks. Was legally blind (supposedly) in left eye, always wore contacts. Then had lasik, was fantastic for about a year, now left eye is as bad as it originally was. I have recently had to wear glasses when watching TV, have to take them off to read or use IPad. And night vision is terrible. When it’s night time and raining I’m actually kind of afraid to drive if it’s unfamiliar driving.
Probably worst for me is just the general degradation in strength/stamina. Had to have double hernia surgery like 5 years ago from just trying to flip over a concrete slab. I still seem to judge my abilities based on 28 year old me rather than 56 year old me.
Still have most my hair, a little temple recession. Just starting to gray a little. Guess it could be worse.
