When did I get so farking old?

When you're old, every body part not in constant use begins to atrophy. Once out of shape it gets harder each year to get back in. I recommend a boot camp regimen and bungee jumping.

And Teeter hanging.

I inherited my grandmother's rings. On Christmas Eve, my daughter asked me why my hands look so "old." Crepey skin I say. She tells me, there's a creme for that.

I didn't know whether I should laugh or cry.

teat hanging? thats gotta HURT. They call you horse?

One of these

That looks like a medieval torture device.

I recommend having it done at an eye surgery center where all they do is eye operations all day long. That's where I got my eyes done.

And you might want to make sure you think about what sort of lens you want in your eyes. Fixed/distance in both eyes is probably the best option, and probably what you will get by default if you don't choose. But you might want to think about it and make your own choice.

Your choices are:

a) fixed/distance
b) fixed/medium
c) fixed/near
d) Lenses that attach to your eye muscles and flex to change focus.
e) Lenses that have a whole bunch of fixed focal lengths all at once. Your brain needs to take a couple months to rewire itself to adapt to the new input.

Some people get fixed/distance in one eye and fixed/near in the other. I think that's a screwy idea. But it's another option.

I think the eye doctor college is best. You get it at a fraction of the cost

I've got what they call Early Onset Rigor Mortis. Age related, but mine is coming on earlier than usual. I'm 74, by the way.

That's good information.

I had the operation in one eye, and did it without anesthesia. They totally numb the and the anesthesia is only to keep you relaxed during the procedure. I just hate recovering from anesthesia and feel like this was one of my good decisions.

I never knew there were choices. That's really good to know, thank you.

And McG - on your behalf "Ouch!" Also on your behalf: "Hey you kids, get off my lawn!"

And now, a musical interlude.

Here are a couple pages that describe the various options.

Insurance usually will only pay for a fixed-focus lens. If you want a lens that flexes or does multiple focuses at once, you usually have to pay for the lens yourself, although insurance would probably still pay for the surgery.

Your dying it's a terrible slow process that everyone hates.

the human body was made to rejuvenate but we have lost that understanding overtime I can relate to you on the rotator cuff I tore my left one about 8 years ago on top of about 20 other torn muscles in about 20 other broken bones

I’m sure his teeter is hanging.

No major injuries yet, but I can pull a muscle with a sneeze.

Same farking time I did!

You do know you're not likely to get much sympathy from this crowd, right?

Now that's just goofy . . . if I brought home a woman who looked like that, The Girl would kick my @ss.

Mine would laugh at me for thinking I had a chance.
