Cerena Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I saw an 80 year old woman at the clinic today... she looked like she was 60! It was amazing. No health problems, no pain at all, I swear she had more energy than me. I asked her what her secret was and she told me it's all to do with a positive attitude and staying social. I understand that most people are not so lucky as to live that long without health problems, it's definitely not possible for most, but it was very nice to see and talk with her today. Made me think about what I want to end up like when I'm older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatonekid Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I bought a new pair of interview shoes today. I figure that it's a good way to spend some of my Super Bowl earnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made me think about what I want to end up like when I'm older The 75yo patient that I follow is STILL a highly ranked professional badminton player. She rocked the US open last month in her age group and I think she just got back from provincials. Her only health problem is a labile heart rate (which makes her an extremely easy patient to follow). She still parties until 2am and stuff. Old does not mean hopeless.

leap87 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Don't you think I'm special? I really thought we had something, Leap. I guess I was wrong. lol It takes more than that..... lol Kidding. Of course. You're probably one of my favourites on the forum. In other news, time to turn a new page in life and move on. Probably the hardest thing I had to do thus far.... it better be worth it. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get any worse than this. I'm barely managing my grad studies as it stands and we purchased a new condo recently. This is just surreal. The worst is she worked at the hospital. OMG.

Renin Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I am considering starting SYC (shop your closet) for the next rotation. Shouldn't be too hard since I"m in the middle of nowhere and everyone there wears ankle-length skirts and hair coverings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made me think about what I want to end up like when I'm older There is a 90+ year old man in my condo building who was widowed about a year ago. He goes for 3 walks a day, swims laps for at least an hour a day, hangs out at the local coffee shop, and is looking for a "lady friend" to spend his time with. I think he was trying to hit on me! hahaha...the 60+ age difference is a little difficult to deal with, for me. LOL It goes to show old does not mean gone to pasture. If there are any takers for said old dude, please PM. Oh, he also told me that he was a financier and has good money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
