Don't get old!

Every once in a while you hear the old saying, "Don't get old!"  When you get old everything on your body goes south, you forget where you put things, and you fall.  Well, Grandma fell and hurt her foot, so for the last few days, I have been tending to Grandma.  Not an easy thing at times as she can turn on you at the drop of a hat.  Then we spent eight hours in the Emergency Room because of her condition.  Now, she hasn't been eating right, hasn't been sleeping at night (can't be because she sleeps during the day) and just isn't herself.  Her labs come back better than mine!  Her foot was sprained and was discharged to home.  It is now 10:00 at night.  Of course not knowing the area, I took the wrong turn.  After going on the scenic route for fifteen minutes, I turned around and found the right way.  Once safe and sound in her apartment, I wanted to get home.  I'm tired, hungry and have to go to the bathroom.  Arriving home after midnight, I sat on something that didn't have wheels and relaxed.  I didn't turn into a pumpkin after 10:00 like everyone thought I would.  So like I say, "don't get old."  Too much can go wrong.......
