Are you a senior and repotty training yourself?

Question

I am a senior and I am repotty training myself. Only this time around I have huge nappies and a taller toilet.
I feel I am going back to child hood.
Any one else?????
Can't chew, don't understand, can't hear
can't see, almost bald, but hair on my face,
unable to leap tall buildings in a single bound,
not as powerful as a locamotive, not able to sleep all night but have 2 naps in the day.

Answer 1

Not yet, so...... Is this what we have to look forward to?

Answer 2

I certanly am up there but no, I am not that far along. However I can help you with part of the question although you seem to have found the answer for yourself.
As a plumber I can tell you that an elongated and tall toilet is just what the Dr. ordered for people with sore backs and weeker muscles. If you've tried one already then you know for sure. Other than that I can only advise you to stay away from the prune juice and do the muscle exercises that your Dr. may have asked you to do that control the flow.

Hope I was some help

Answer 3

I'm a senior who's got a spinal cord injury so I have a riser on the commode and a pull-up on my behind ; I can't remember anything that happened more recently than 25 years ago; I'm unable to step over a crack in the sidewalk, can't sleep at night and don't dare take a nap or I'd be awake till 5 am AGAIN. I found my husband's bald spot on my chin last year; and have my body in the repair shop every few months. One bank is more than adequate for my needs but I have a whole herd of doctors taking care of me. Old age is certainly challenging!

Answer 4

Holy smokes. I drink too much tea and find I cross my legs a lot and hope to heck the toilet seat is up and I find I can't do some things I used to like pinch anything with my thumb and forefinger. I find arthritis in my hands more painful somedays than others, but hey, I'm still breathing. Any day I wake up is a bonus. Not ancient but just about. Menopause gave me little hairs on my chinny chin chin that are annoying. My hair hasn't gone gray yet but everything else is drooping, sagging and shifting. Golden years? Yes... Watching myself shrivel is a real adventure. You have no lips when you get old They shrink. My Mother and I call them razor lips. You know when you get cheesed at hubby and the lips disappear? Yup. Like that.

Answer 5

Didn't you know about the best kept secret of all time?

Those "The Golden Years." That all senior’s have looked forward to.

They got it wrong. It, is called going though our second childhood.

I can relate to all of the above but I'm one up, on you.

I, have a handy, dandy commode, right by my bedside and some times two naps just aren't quite enough.

Isn't it great that we can laugh about it?

“You don’t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.”

Answer 6

I keep very active and eat right but there are times when I hear something so funny on here that I laugh and dribble a little. It comes from having 3 kids and c-sections too. I do Kegel exercises at red lights and other times like sitting at the computer but some of these people are just too funny.

Answer 7

no, but sometimes have to redress a couple times a day. Don't nap, but find myself dozing off in front of the computer from time to time.


cool Pat -- hear some ladies learned how to do kegels when they were working at red lights.(years ago of course)

Answer 8

Your kidding right? I'm a senior ( over 65 ) and I exercise every day, cross country ski, ice skate and am on the go all day. Todays senior is a LOT more active because that's what keeps you young at heart.We've got to much to do that we never got to do when we were young and were taking care of everyone else. It's our time now. You evidently didn't take care of yourself or your poking fun at being old, not sure which but I'd say your poking fun at and for the ones who do have all those problems it's not funny. You will be old someday.

Answer 9

Ok folks, I WAS going to be
a smart-A, but all kidding aside,
the Kegals work great and
biofeedback works great.
BUT if your are truly tired of
the "leakage" syndrome, then
it's an easy surgical procedure
to put you back into shape.
Talk to your Gyn.Most insurance covers it OR the
biofeedback.
