Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

ba_miracle says,

Was cholesterol the word of the day? I just commented to another six about it. I hope you react well to the medication.

The six that marymc wrote triggered it in my head, but I've often wondered if I'm better off dying youngish than dealing with the indignities etc. of old age.

ba_miracle says,

I was fearless (aka reckless/foolish) in my youth, saying that I didn't want to get old and that was the only true fear I had to face. It is funny that you use the word "indignities" that was one of the words I associated with the idea.

Something Loon wrote the other day and now this have me thinking of a time (or too many) when I'd drank so much as to be resting my face on the toilet while a dear one held my hair out of the way. I may have in actuality given up my dignity several hundred different ways already ;-)
All the drinking, risky behavior, toxins/drugs and poor eating habits.
Somehow I survived myself and now it seems, get to live with the consequences ;-).

Perhaps by my 50's I'll become dignified enough (or have recreated the delusion of it) to be concerned again about losing it.

On a more serious note, I don't have enough faith in the medical system and Dr.s ability/objectivity in prescribing.

I've had doctor tell me that it's good for almost everyone :)
I just never remember to take it!
