Getting old

I’ve had white hair for years now and never had a problem with it. Short and neat and white.

Today i noticed my eyebrows are also going white. I can’t have that, and I may have to do something I’ve always laughed at people for - using a dye.

For FUCKS sake.
 
Fuck me.......my wife and I were having a rather heated conversation the other day....I dont normally listen to her unless it's important and because of this she accused me of having Alzhiemers because I dont remember anything she tells me. I hit the fucking roof and had a right go...... mainly because my mum had dementia. I was slightly fortunate that yesterday I was having my 6 monthly check up at the doctors, I'm borderline type 2 and I mentioned the ' chat ' that my wife and I had in passing. We had a chat, a few questions and answers and she came to the conclusion that she has a husband exactly like me....Oh happy days.

So dark eyebrowns and white hair ? I would leave eyebrowns to go white mate :)
 
I'm 66 and the biggest change I've noticed is healing time, everything takes ages to get better. Recently had back surgery while on holiday in Goa, totally innocuous injury, picking up my towel off the sunbed, felt a crunch and 2 days later became totally immobile and was in fucking agony.
I've ended up with footdrop, very frustrating that I can't get around the same, hopefully it will heal but no guarantees, if it doesn't I'll be disabled, depressing thought as I've been active all my life until now.

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.

Wouldn't worry about your left foot... there are plenty of footballers who don't know they even have one
