Why? "Slip Sliden Away"

Slip
I try to stay positive, but one thing I really dislike is filling my weekly pill box. MY WEEKLY PILL BOX!  I remember, long ago, perhaps age 10 or 12 thinking what would my life be like if I lived to be 60.  Well, one thing I never imagined was medications.  I currently have four prescriptions and take a few supplements

Sliden
At age 63, I was still coaching golf. I had a van full of girls golfers in east Wichita one evening following a tournament. We had eaten and I pulled out into the wrong lane. Traffic was light and I quickly corrected the situation. I will tell you that I was always aware of how precious the cargo was when driving kids in a school van and I knew at that moment that it was time to retire from coaching.

Away
With the death  of my son-in-law and my son in the same year,  I  knew that I must do my best to survive as long as possible for the grandchildren.  That was seven years ago and I carefully fill my pill box every week,take all my medications, and walk three miles a day, every single day.  I will turn 75 in May. My life is filled with family and I am grateful. I still play golf, shot my age last year(ok, from the "up" tees)  So slippen and sliden but not ready for the away part and am going to fight it as long as I can. Love to all.
