John9362:
A group of seniors were sitting around talking about all their ailments at Kat's house.

"My arms have got so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee," said one.

"Yes, I know," said another, "My cataracts are so bad; can't even see my coffee."

"I couldn't even mark an "X" at election time because my hands are so crippled," volunteered a third.

"What? Speak up! What? I can't hear you", said one elderly lady.

"I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said one, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.

"My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy!" exclaimed another.

"I forget where I am and where I'm going," said another.

"I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man as he slowly shook his head.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Well, count your Blessings," said a woman cheerfully, "Thank God we can all still drive."

Dave in Tenn:
 :D

Joel:
No joke,
I know a 80 year old lady that can check off a number of those listed, and the still driving one for sure.

indianabob:
Right on Joel, I have "run into" some of those older drivers myself. No pun intended.

Of course you realize that I will be 80 next July. So let's keep a little forgiveness in our replies.  ::)   ;D

I agree with you Bob,
What's your opinion of this?
Same little old lady was driving my wife on a short trip and back.
On the way there she tells the wife "I can't feel my feet."
We heard through the grape vine that she was taking her daughter that has no license to the store, her shoulders, and arms were  hurting so bad with arthritis, her daughter had to make all the left, and right hand turns for her. (daughter had to open door for her, fasten seat belt, start the engine, and put the car in gear for her also.)
Little lady still has her wits about her for sure, example;
The last time she went to renew her drivers license, she called and made appointment so she would not have to wait very long.
She parked in the parking lot, took one long breath before she left her oxygen bottle in the car, used her inhaler, left her walker in the car and went on in.
She had no trouble passing the test on the eye machine, had her picture made and was back out in about fifteen minutes.
Funny, and true!
