What a drag it is getting old

Still hobbling around on the cane. Entirely apart from the fact that I'm using my leg muscles in a totally different way and that makes me sore, it's been a real learning experience. I've never felt so old in my life. I mean, I know that right now I'm older than I've ever been before, but this is different. It's making me think about declining and growing old.

I don't like it, but I've chosen to believe there's a lesson in it.
