First off - It is kinda funny that New Agers are probably Old Agers now. Will they live to see their so called 'new age' - probably not (if it happens at all).
Anyway...
Getting old is an interesting experience.
I am ever learning about new medical problems.
The latest is Plantar Fasciitis. I mean - why is there such a thing??

My heels heart for quite some time after sleeping and sitting. I have never had this before. It may have been after strenuous work in the garden or a game of Tennis. Proof that I am getting old? (or do young people get it?).
In my 20s I started getting Back issues.
I also had sciatica that caused an itchy foot! This still drives me mad because it is 'in' the foot - not on the surface...
I won't bore with my dental issues - only to say I have had two root canals already...
I recently had 'corneal abrasion' - which in my case is a fancy term to say that Solomon swiped my eye ball with his finger nails. The result was dramatic. I suddenly had cold symptoms (runny nose) and it felt like I had a huge object stuck in my eye. Turned out it was a couple of deep slices to the eyeball.

I have had all the medical treatment in the article above. The contact lens and the drops - also an ointment for helping me to open my eye in the morning (and stop infection).
If there is a next time - at least I will know what to do...
Speaking to older people - there are so many serious medical problems to suffer from.
Life is full of excitement and anticipation of what medical problems I will get next.
At least it makes me yearn for Heaven so much more...
