Decrepit

In a recent conversation with my sister, we were discussing our various stages of decrepitness (decreption?  Decrepitation?).  Anyway, I think this seems to be common among Seniors.  We talk about our aches and pains and our medicines and our dietary problems.  This talk usually leads into the inevitable bathroom talk but we won’t go there today.  (lol, a pun).

There are some other challenges that we both have dealt with throughout our lives but are now becoming more difficult.  The fact that we are short ( 5’ ish) has been a cause of some difficulties.  i.e. reaching things on the top two shelves of the cabinets in most kitchens, reaching things on the top shelves in the grocery stores, finding a chair that allows our feet to touch the floor when sitting in them, having to shorten all clothes we buy, (leading to a proficiency in sewing), needing a pillow to drive a car so that we can reach the pedals (this problem fixed itself with the advent of power seats).  Ahh the adaptability of humans.
