i see crow’s feet starting to form. age spots here and there. a white hair every now and then. but if there’s something that undeniably tells me that i’m getting old, it’s the various diseases and ailments friends my age are starting to complain about. perhaps i’m one of the fortunate few whose organs are so far asymptomatic of disease, but lately, i’ve had a few friends going under medical procedures for varied reasons. gall bladder removal, kidney radiation, chemo treatment for cancer, surgery for abdominal hernia, diabetes, thyroid problems, hypertension. it sounds as if life is starting to take its toll on our bodies. sometimes, it scares me when i realize that these are people in my age group, living a lifestyle approximately similar to mine. when will it be my turn? and it scares me even more that apart from a private health insurance from a german provider, i have no health savings account to speak of. ouch.
