You Know You're Getting Old When...

You start blogging about medical stuff. Your aches and pains, doctor visits and "procedures."

You visit your gynecologist who sends you to your primary doc because your cholesterol is high.

Your primary doc sends you to the cardiologist.

Your cardiologist runs tests and sends you back to your primary doc.

Your primary doc sends you to the allergist.

The allergist runs tests and sends you back to the primary doc saying you need to see a gastroenterologist.

The gastroenterologist peforms tests and sends you back for more tests.

You have a mamogram and they call you back for further evaluations. They make you come back 6 months later.

Your gynecologist sends you to a dermatologist to have a skin lesion checked.

Your dermatologist removes the skin cancer and makes you return for regular visits.

Your doctor gives you drugs that counteract drugs your other doctor gives you causing side effects that another doctor has to prescribe to alleviate the side effects of the other drugs.

I hate getting old.
