I never gave much thought to being old but lately its hit me I am old. I used to laugh with my friend when she used to say .. ' This getting old is bloody awful' And she was so right.
After standing looking into crates my back was aching and so were my legs. This is me getting old I thought and I sat on the bedroom chair for a while. I'm still getting over yet another urinary infection, its not so much the pain, although that can be awful, its the lack of sleep. I've got so I dread going to bed.. some nights I sit in the lounge as I don't think it fair for Dh with me getting in and out of bed..I feel I am better than I was, but still not 100%.
But I mustn't complain I've had a very blessed and happy life. My first marriage wasn't wonderful, but I do have 4 lovely children, now grown, I loved it when they were little.
Before I met Dh I had some super friends and wonderful holidays and then I met my lovely husband and life has been good, in fact very good.
So I must get myself well, the Dr has arranged for me to see a Urologist so hopefully I'll get some answers and proper treatment.. can't wait to get it all sorted and I can get a proper nights sleep.
One lovely moment yesterday I flicked open a photo album and there I was holding Saskia my grand daughter, when she was first born.. such a cutie little face, and I looked young and slim! I had forgotten how good I looked!

I feel for you as I have similar bad nights due to medication. Yes, my mum used to say the same about getting old and now I understand. I feel so young in my head but the body is a different matter! We try to laugh a lot, keep our sense of humour and focus on the good…the family, grandchildren etc etc. 😁
I'm sure your grandchildren think you're beautiful. My grandmother reminded me of a big armchair, totally huggable. I loved her that way. My mother had a lot of UTIs more so when she was in her nineties. They were giving her stronger and stronger antibiotics, which did work. I don't know if the infections completely went away but she had relief while on the antibiotics. Wishing you all the best.
I do think ageing is a state of mind, and I know for me I feel 'old' if I've had a bad night's sleep or my bad back and hips have been particularly painful. I have a friend who's 10 years older than me but is always busy, goes for long walks several times a week and just brushes off any ailments, saying 'it'll get better'. She puts me to shame!
