A joke

that isn't as funny as it first appears:

"I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries , a hip replacement, new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes; I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine and take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. I have bouts with dementia. I have poor circulation; I hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. I can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. I've lost all my friends but, thank God, I still have my driver's license."
