I thought I'd just run down a quick review of changes I've noticed since I've become old.
I can't tell you exactly when I first felt that I've become old but there was a time when it seemed pretty clear.
I was thinking about the changes I've noticed and thought that sharing them might be helpful to somebody. So here they are:
- I move a lot slower. I can't really even begin to match the pace that I used to do things.
- I bite my lips and tongue a lot more frequently. I don't know why.
- I have hiccups a lot more often. I don't know why.
- I swallow wrong a lot more often and end up coughing.
Those last 3 all sound like neurological things to me.
- I've noticed a couple of what I consider signs of cognitive decline:
- I can't remember how to spell certain words right away; I have to stop and wait and think.
- I can't do simple arithmetic of more than a few numbers in my head anymore; I have to write them down.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
