Apparently I have vitritis. My vitreous humor has signs of inflammation. Now to find out what to do. #WhatADragItIsGettingOld.

It recently dawned on me that my wife and I are older than Howard & Marion Cunningham AND Archie & Edith Bunker when “Happy Days” and “All in the Family” started. #whatadragitisgettingold

I might have just been explaining this to some of my younger coworkers. #whatadragitisgettingold

Got my flu and COVID shots last week. Whooped my ass for longer than I expected. #Whatadragitisgettingold

Honestly a little disappointed by the dearth of Donnie Darko imagery after last night's Super Bowl announcement. #WhatADragItIsGettingOld

Tbf, I often forget mine. They're at their most achey first thing, as are my hips, though this www.jmldirect.com/contour-lega... has helped a surprising amount (bought for a tenner on a Boots £10 Tuesday). My knees and ankles are routinely painful. ☹️ #Whatadragitisgettingold

Had an absolutely awful night’s sleep due to some weird indigestion. Not “feeling it” today, I have to say 😕

The intern just came in and said, "Another day, another slay!" I now feel like I'm going to break a hip. #whatadragitisgettingold

Parker Posey steals the spotlight this season of #WhiteLotus, perfectly embodying a frazzled mom navigating the chaos of affluence. #MothersLittleHelper! #Whatadragitisgettingold.

The elbow tendinitis that's kept me from playing hoops for several weeks has finally gotten significantly better, so naturally I pulled a hamstring playing today. #WhatADragItIsGettingOld

"Nearly all of #PuertoRico is without power on New Year's Eve." Truth be told, this would have made for an EPIC #NYE when I was a young hooligan, living my best hedonistic life. Today, I'd just be pissed because I'd have to run my generator to get my #C-Pap going. #Whatadragitisgettingold

I definitely remember @katenepveu.bsky.social and I badgering one of our friends into buying a semi-obscure SF book that we both lived, but neither of us can remember what the book was #WhatADragItIsGettingOld

At the spa and grateful for it. Catching a few days for self-care while my husband looks after Dad. Hanging with my cat, sleeping a lot, catching up on journaling and art, watching a lot of road videos on YT. Stress-B-Gone. #eldercare #selfcare #genx #whatadragitisgettingold #gratitude #family

Part of this is learning what is a watch-and-wait vs a true emergency. I jumped the 🔫 yesterday. Figuring out now that I fell victim to my worst fears and hit the proverbial panic button. It’s a process. I feel embarrassed. #eldercare #caregiving #genx #family #love #whatadragitisgettingold #journal

Today I’m taking Dad to see the cardiologist and there are stairs involved. We are trying to minimize the number of stairs going up. But there’s no way to minimize four flights going from his bedroom to the garage. 🍀🤞 #eldercare #genx #family #whatadragitisgettingold #love

(2/?) The paramedics checked him out and confirmed what the nurse told me earlier: that his symptoms were borderline. This liminal space between acute illness and recovery is very uneasy. The aging body’s uncanny valley. #eldercare #genx #memoir #writesky #whatadragitisgettingold #journaling #family

I called 911 today because Dad had concerning CHF symptoms, even though he insisted he was okay. But all I could see was his heaving chest, his bent head, his fluttering heart, his swollen feet. Dad politely declined to go to the hospital. (1/?) #eldercare #genx #whatadragitisgettingold #aging

Today Dad said that he will not move out of his house. Even though it is four stories high and he has afib and CHF. Even though his partner has bad knees, dementia, and doesn’t recognize the house as his. I am frustrated. Advice welcome. #eldercare #genx #caregiving #whatadragitisgettingold #family

Something happened when my Dad fell ill a few weeks ago: I honestly stopped caring what people think of me. I’m a lifelong people pleaser, I hate conflict. But that has changed and I don’t understand why. I’ll take it, tho. It’s so much easier not to GAF. #genx #eldercare #whatadragitisgettingold

Tonight Dad requested for dinner: rice cooked in no salt canned green bean water, with green beans and tuna thrown in and mixed in with the rice. Dad is a gourmet cook, but he definitely has a dark side. This is the darkest I’ve seen yet. #genx #eldercare #food #whatadragitisgettingold #nothanks

Today Dad is apologizing for asking me to get him stuff and I’m starting to wonder if I came off as surly early into this adventure. It’s not a problem to get him what he needs. I do think I need to work on my bedside manner, tho. #eldercare #genx #caregiving #whatadragitisgettingold

I ran out to the Safeway on 16th to get my dad some chef Boyardee ravioli. I tried to say that it had too much sodium, but dad told me it’s the only thing he wants to eat. I couldn’t say no to that. The man is skin and bones. #genx #eldercare #caregiving #whatadragitisgettingold

Back in SF. Dad’s house is unreasonably hot. I guess that’s what happens when you age, but seriously it’s like fn Phoenix in August in here. Btw this furnace & my hot flashes, I am going to invest in a few more Mrs. Roper-style kaftans. #genx #perimenopause #caregiving #whatadragitisgettingold
