I Don't Want to Get Old
After many years of not worrying about aging, I am beginning to worry. I don't know why, as I take birthdays as being another day older rather than a whole year. Its not the aches and pains as I have always had them, in fact I take the Facebook post of "if I woke up and something didn't hurt I would think I was dead" as my own.

The AARP and Me
I dashed for the elevator, happy to be done with yet another session of physical therapy on my surgically repaired shoulder. How much longer before my upper body feels normal again? Will I ever be able to play basketball or suffer through yoga or lift a barbell again? What about the basics… reaching for the top shelf of the pantry or exiting the car, without a twinge or a pull or a jolt? I’m 62 years old, and my weekend warrior body has been breaking down for a while now... Has the inevitable finally arrived?

How Negative Age Expectations Can Affect How You Age
Getting older is a fact of life for those of us who are lucky enough to make it past 60. I am well past that age, so I feel I have the knowledge to talk about old age. Personally I have found that as I get older, I still find life to be fun and exciting. However, some people I know do not share my outlook on what getting older means. They believe life after fifty or sixty will be full of challenges. Instead of concentrating on ways to remain active, they seem to fixate on the things they perceive they will eventually be unable to do. It drives me crazy to see how quickly they go downhill after they have constantly self-prophesied how they expect old age to affect them.

The Benefits of Medical House Calls for the Elderly
Even though we become wiser with age, being a part of the elderly population also comes with certain downsides. The most unpleasant thing is the fact that we are more prone to different illnesses, and we are not strong and healthy as we used to be. According to the CDC, two out of three older people deal with more than one chronic condition, but it is said to be expensive to treat these conditions, and when it comes to the current hospital-focused method, it is also proven to be inefficient. Luckily, there is always the option to turn to medical house calls, and there are several benefits of these medical visits, besides the fact it all happens in the comfort of your home.
