Back in '29 before the crash

[Gary]

Was something my dad used to say to indicate that something happen a long time ago. Something that happen more than 20-30 years ago. I said something today about something I told my wife "a couple years ago" she pointed out that yes I did say that about THIRTY years ago. I have MS, high blood pressure and a list of other things and today I had one of my knees (the good one) shot full of cortisone.

I remember the first time my dad said this in front of my kids and they asked "grandpa did you have a crash? are you okay?" He look at them and I think he realized he was getting old.

As the song says "I don't remember getting older"

Funny, I don't remember getting old either. I remember getting MS at a young age and then Aging crept in and joined the party. They made great *evil twins*

MS has seemed a lot like premature aging to me.

Age

You know.....I have always felt old.......even when I was 16. I think I was born with MS. I think my Mother had MS. Can you have it "while in the womb"?

Last December (11) I had to go to er (broke foot) and the nurse was doing her pqperwork thing and she sais

I see you are 64 now

and I literally screamed " I AM" the way she said it sounded OLD and it had not dawned on me how old 64 was until that very moment it was a shock isn't that weird? haven't been the same since

Abby, maybe that Beatles song is bothering you. They make it sound as if 64 is older than old.

Not true.

Nowadays 64 is quite young. I've known several people personally who lived to be over 100, and many who've lived to be in their mid-90s.

Well, I can see I have some company of the subject. I have in the past years (6 to 7 especially) said many times to myself that I would like to have known how I would grow old without MS. None of us will ever know what it is like to age normally.

[LaCeli]

Funny you say that Gabriella, I have always felt old too. People have always told me that. My son says I'm not "normal ", I'm from another Era.

[Abby2006]

I will be just as shocked when someone tells me I've turned 65 or 66 or whatever. Age doesn't really bother me.

Another Era

La Celi, A kindred spirit is here. I have always felt it would have been better to have lived in the 1800's with lots of servants to do all the work around the house. Maybe that is the answer I did live in the 1800's in a past life and that is why I feel soooo old and I hate to do the housework.
