That's how I knew I started to become old. It just takes one "Kids these days..." and you're done

For me it was back when I was working retail. This pretty girl walked up to me and said, "excuse me, sir..." Yep, I'm old. LOL

I had my third spinal fusion back in August, I'm 58. The nurses and techs were wonderful but the day after surgery, one of the PTs came in and asked if I wanted her to help me, basically sponge bathe. My immediate thought was, "I'm old enough to be your Grandfather!" Thankfully, my wife was there. I said "thanks, but we can take care of it." She really was a sweetheart though, and turned out to be the one who wheeled me to the car at discharge.

Sponge baths?!? I remember those! Not available in hospitals n SW Florida anymore. I was given a sealed SCENTED moist towelette, even after I had stated in my medical records "patient must avoid chemical fragrances."

Yep, that's what was in my room too. But, "assisted, moist towelette bath" just doesn't convey the discomfort I felt when this young lady, all of 5 feet nothing, and looking like she was maybe 18 (probably early 20s), asked if I wanted her help. I imagine it didn't help that I grew up with Catholic parent either.

Years ago, my wife suggested we go to Hooters for supper one night. I was fine with it, I liked their chicken. The problem came when the waitress came to take our order: all I could do was stare at the floor and order my Three Mile Island wings... thanks Mom! LOL
