Getting old

I retired at 56 to spend more time with family, fishing, city and holidays. Thank fuck I did because you just do not know when you will get bowled a Yorker in terms of health. At 68 I am now facing an operation on a brain tumour in the next few weeks. The same day as my season ticket renews. At least I will have a decent excuse for missing games next season.

Fucking hell mate, wishing you all the best pal

Best of luck with it, mate.
 
Defied the years today. Was unplayable for Wales over 50s cricket v Worcestershire today and bagged myself a little motm trophy. On the beer now to toast the game, and numb the aches and pains
Where do you live and how much money do you want to play for a village club?
 
Just turned 60 last year, not got great health but better than some. Have sported a natty beard, full or goatee, for the last 40 years.

Recently I’m getting bald spots on my face - started on my left (upper) cheek, so ok, goatee it is.

Now got one on my chin.

I’m going to have to shave and expose the weak chin imminently…

I’ll be looking like Gollum, “I hates it, nasty hobbit”

Don’t like it at all

I retired 2 and half years ago, my best mate got brain cancer and was gone in 5 weeks.
I thought , fuck this.
Met the love of my life 2 years earlier and moved to York and got married last May at the ripe old age of 67.
I thought i'd get a daft part time job but I have no energy. Lost 2stone, mainly muscle mass. I just wanna sleep.
Finding harder to get to midweek games now, 2 hour drive on the M62 each way is just not for me.
Losing my season ticketfor next season due to not attending enough games.
Had a double by pass 4 years ago, got type 2 diabetes, had a camera down my Japs eye recently to check for bladder cancer, due to peeing blood. Everything ok....then yesterday peeing blood again.
I'm supposed to be going Greece on Sunday.
I might just phone the docs this morning, or do I just chance it.

The joys of being a grumpy old bastard eh!

Don’t leave it to chance mate.
 
Lost control of my left foot, so walking is a bit difficult, can't tilt my foot back towards my leg, so when walking my left foot slaps down flat instead of heel first.
Not the best explanation but hopefully you get the gist.

Just to add, because I've altered the way I walk to compensate for the footdrop my knee keeps giving way, which is equally worrying but hopefully the physio I start next week will help me to walk properly, really don't fancy having a knee replacement, not this year anyway, had enough pain already.
Is that what John Thaw had ?
