Middle-age has show me the truth of two old sayings, "Youth is wasted on the young." (Especially since I spent so much of my youth wasted!) and, "If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd've taken better care of my teeth." My teeth are crumbling, in addition to the sciatica, I have poor circulation causing foot and leg pain, my knees are going, and my night vision is shot. On the other hand, knock wood, my immune system is goi g strong; I rarely get sick-sick.
