Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids? If you’re less than ten years old, you’re so excited about aging that you think in fractions. “How old are you?” “I’m four and a half.” You’re four and a half going on 5.

You get into your teens; and you simply jump to the next number. “How old are you?” “I’m gonna be 16.” You could be 12, but you’re gonna be 16. Eventually.

Then the great day arrives and you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. You BECOME 21!!

Then you turn 30. What happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. What’s wrong? What changed?

You BECOME 21. You TURN 30; You’re PUSHING 40. You REACH 50. Then you MAKE IT to 60. By then you’ve built up so much speed, you HIT 70. After that, it’s a day by day thing. You HIT Wednesday….

You get into your 80’s; you HIT lunch, you HIT 4:30. And it doesn’t end there….

Into the 90’s, you start going backwards. “I was JUST 92.” Then a strange thing happens; if you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. “I’m 100 and a half.”

My Grandmother won’t even buy green bananas. “Well, it’s an investment, you know, and maybe a bad one. I just hate to waste money.”

Many people take pain relievers. Not just seniors who are experiencing and attack of their arthritis or headaches. But then, before you take in pain relievers, make sure that you have an idea about the possible side effects that they may contain.

Here are some of the potential side effects of pain relievers.

1. Liver damage. This occurs on people who take large amounts of acetaminophen which is the active ingredient of Tylenol.

2. Gastrointestinal problems like ulcer or upset stomach. It can occur on people who take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen.

3. Kidney damage which is also cause by NSAIDs.

4. In some rare instances, people can also be allergic to pain medications.

An elderly couple is enjoying an anniversary dinner together in a small tavern. The husband leans over and asks his wife, “Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind this tavern where you leaned against the fence and I made love to you from behind?”

“Yes,” she says, “I remember it well.”

“OK,” he says, “How about taking a stroll ’round there again and we can do it for old time’s sake.”

“Oooooooh Henry, you devil, that sounds like a good idea,” she answers.

There’s a police officer sitting in the next booth listening to all this, and having a chuckle to himself. He thinks, “I’ve got to see this…two old-timers having sex against a fence. I’ll just keep an eye on them so’s there’s no trouble.”

So he follows them. They walk haltingly along, leaning on each other for support, aided by walking sticks. Finally they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt, takes her knickers down and the old man drops his trousers. She turns around and as she hangs on to the fence, the old man moves in.

Suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the watching policeman has ever seen. They are bucking and jumping like 18-year-olds. This goes on for about thirty minutes! She’s yelling, “Ohhhh, God!” He’s hanging on to her hips for dear life. This is the most athletic sex imaginable. Finally, they both collapse panting on the ground.

The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life that he didn’t know. He starts to think about his own aged parents and wonders whether they still have sex like this. After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggles to their feet and put their clothes back on.

The policeman, still watching thinks, “that was truly amazing; he was going like a train. I’ve got to ask him what his secret is.”

As the couple pass, he says to them, “That was something else, you must have been shagging for about forty minutes. How do you manage it? You must have had a fantastic life together. Is there some sort of secret?”

“No, there’s no secret,” the old man says,”except that fifty years ago that damn fence wasn’t electric.”

Let’s face the fact that as you grow older adn come to age, your visits to the hospital becomes frequent. Doctors will do their best to keep you safe on your stay in the hospital and to cure you as fast as they could.

Here are some things that you can do to become a smart patient and do your part in the healing process.

1. Always talk to your doctor if you have questions. Bring someone with you if you need help in understanding the details of things that you must do.

2. Give your doctor a complete list of the medications that you drink and ask for any side effects and those that should not be taken together.

3. Always get your test results and ask for interpretation.

4. Always expect. If you are going to have a surgery, ask your surgeon the things that you have to do and prepare yourself.

 

Howard is 95 and lives in a senior citizen home. Every night after dinner, Howard goes to a secluded garden behind the center to sit and ponder his accomplishments and long life.

One evening, Annabel, age 87, wandered into the garden. They begin to chat, and before they know it, several hours have passed. After a short lull in their conversation, Howard turns to Annabel and asks, “Do you know what I miss most of all?”

She asks “What?”

He replies “SEX!!!”

Annabel exclaims, “Why you old fart, you couldn’t get it up if I held a gun to your head!”

“I know”, Howard says, “but it would be nice if a woman just held it for a while.”

“Well, I can oblige”, says Annabel, who gently unzips his trousers and removes his manhood and proceeds to hold it.

They agree to meet secretly each night in the garden where they would sit and talk and Annabel would hold Howard’s manhood.

Then, one night, Howard didn’t show up at their usual meeting place. Alarmed, Annabel decided to find Howard and make sure that he was O.K. She walked around the home until she found him sitting by the pool with Sarah, who was holding Howard’s manhood!

Furious, Annabel yelled, “You two-timing creep! What does she have that I don’t have?”

Howard smiled and replied “Parkinson’s!”

 

As we age, it becomes very difficult to take proper care of the teeth. Especially for senior citizens who have arthritis.

Here are some suggestions to prevent tooth decay as you get older into the senior years.

1. If you are having problems holding your tooth brush, make it thinker by wrapping tape around it.

2. To make your toothbrush handle a little bit longer, tape an extender around the end of the handle. You can try an ice cream stick for example.

3. Use a battery powered toothbrush.

4. There are different aids available in the drug store that can help you clean your teeth properly. Products can make flossing a lot easier for you.

5. Brush your gums, tongue and the roof of your mouth with toothpaste everyday before you put your dentures on.

Grandma and Grandpa were watching a healing service on the television.

The evangelist called to all who wanted to be healed to go to their television set, place one hand on the TV and the other hand on the body part where they wanted to be healed.

Grandma got up and slowly hobbled to the television set, placed her right hand on the set and her left hand on her arthritic shoulder that was causing her to have great pain.

Then Grandpa got up, went to the TV, placed his right hand on the set and his left hand on his crotch.

Grandma scowled at him and said, “I guess you just don’t get it. The purpose of doing this is to heal the sick, not to raise the dead.”

For a senior, traveling is inevitable. Of course, they would love to enjoy their time leisurely. They have all the time in the world to visit all the places that they have not been yet. But, for every plane trip, there is what we call, the jet lag.

How can our dear senior prevent jet lag? Here are a few suggestions.
1. Make sure that you are well rested before the flight. Get plenty of sleep.
2. Avoid drinking alcohol or overeating before or during the trip.
3. Eat healthy meals.
4. Get as much exercise as possible.
5. Avoid sleep medications. If you really need to use them, avoid using them for a few days before the trip.
6. Follow the schedule in the time zone that you are in. Eat and sleep like the locals.
