Yesterday I had my yearly eye test. I thought my closeup vision was worsening, but it’s the same as last year. The test took longer because I’m developing cataracts. Oh, the joys of aging!

To add insult to injury, when they did the hearing test it turns out I need an appointment with the audiologist. My left ear is hearing less at higher frequencies so it has to be checked out tomorrow. Oh, the joys of aging!

On Monday, I have an unscheduled appointment with my dentist. My upper left molars are becoming super sensitive every time I eat. They apply special stuff to desensitise my teeth. Oh, the joys of aging!

On Thursday, I have an ultrasound scheduled to investigate my umbilical hernia. I can’t eat or drink beforehand and my appointment isn’t until 9.30 am. Oh, the joys of aging!

In my retirement, I enjoy editing for writers other than my children. My main roles are Editor of the Challenged and True Travel Tales. I also like to write.
