OP in all kidding aside I hope it works out for you. My Mom (R.I.P.) had cataract surgery and wound up with a torn retina. They did a successful repair right away and it didn't affect her vision at all thank goodness.

Quoted: Vitreous detachment. It happens to everyone at some point as you age, it seems. I just spent half the day between my regular eye docs and a retina specialist getting checked out. Crazy stuff. Weird flashes at night, floaters. No retinal tear at the moment. Go back in two weeks. Did you get to stare at that incredibly painful white light? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did you get to stare at that incredibly painful white light? Yeah, wasn't painful to me though. He kept pushing my eyeball with an instrument from all different angles. That was a little weird, but it didn't hurt either. The worst part was sitting in the passenger seat of my wife's car with dilated eyes, no contacts and not being able to see much of anything afterwards. Then realizing how much my life would change if I could no longer see. It had a rather immediate impact on me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It sounds like a lot of things, depending on who you ask and what day you catch me. My wife calls it the "Venn Diagram Diet". I lost 58 lbs in about 5 months. Pretty much just melted off. I've been 155 lbs (+-2) for the last 4 months or so. I'm 5'10", if that helps. I'm basically as lean as I was in my early 20s. I also walk about 5 miles a day, with some sprints here and there. Nothing crazy. I have no idea how many calories I consume in a day, or what my macronutrient ratios look like. And I really, really, really don't care. When I get hungry, I cook a proper meal. I don't snack. Ever. For the most part, I just eat a big-ass dinner each night when I'm hungry, until I ain't hungry any more. I never eat breakfast (I'm just not hungry) and will only occasionally eat lunch if I'm feeling a little peckish around noon (and I'm usually not). Kind of depends how active I am that day. If I've been super active, I tend to work up and appetite and eat more as a result. There's really not that much to it. No sugar, no gluten-grains, no vegetable/seed/nut oils, easy on the starchy stuff. Other than those three little things, I have at it. The world is my oyster. I dunno man, it's just regular-ass cookin'.  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Thanks for the detailed reply. Sounds a lot like paleo, whole foods.

Waking up at 0300 regardless of what time you went to sleep. Everything aching all the time. Memory lapses. Arthritis and stiffness in all of the joints.
Hell, I've been thin and trim my whole life. I went to bed yesterday young and vibrant, and woke up this morning an old man. I look in the mirror and I see myself turning into my Granddad. Bit of a paunch, start of a slouch, moving a little slower, receding hairline. It's been a Hell of a lot of fun getting here and I look forward to the next chapter. I'm a lucky one. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That could also be just the old “flirting with old guys because they’re safe” routine. Post a selfie and we’ll let you know. One of the cashiers at a grocery store I shopped at commented that she's like to try some of the wine I was buying, listed the times she got off work, and then subtley (and deniably) simulated a blowjob. Pretty sure that was past the "safe" routine, lol. Honestly I don't think every younger woman that goes for an older guy is necessarily a gold diggers, they just appreciate successful men and what they have to offer and have figured out how to spot them. I'm more than OK with that. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The longer you live the more things you lose whether it be loved ones, your physical abilities or health related. That’s what I am coming to respect about older people I’ve known... a big part of growing older is finding out how to deal with more and more people dying around you. The ones that really get me are the ones that die far too young. Teens, 20s. No sense to it. They haven’t lived yet. For me that’s a big part of aging. Also the soreness. Back pain that doesn’t go away, I just get warmed up and it hurts slightly less because I’m preoccupied with other things. |

Second one died this week at 45, cancer. There are alternatives to getting old, but neither of these were enjoyable. |
