Old Age Day by Day February 26, 2013

Oh dread day!  I have my annual checkup.  I've probably gained weight, my blood pressure will be up, the lab tests dire and this time I actually have a complaint about discomfort on my right side.  At my age, the possibilities for bad news are endless.  I'll go, but gee. 

I'm trying to plan to outings in the evening this week, tomorrow and Friday.  I feel awkward, now that I don't drive at night, and I have to overcome my reluctance to ask for help.  It's hard to admit limitations, and feel beholden, as they say.  There will be more of this as I get older. 

I'm going to watch the PBS show about feminists tonight.  It should be interesting.  So much of my life has been about consciousness raising groups and feminist activities.  The movement directed and uplifted my life and writing and teaching.  It will be good to see the icons again.
