The Indignity of Aging

As if gaining weight, losing muscle and becoming less flexible weren't enough; I have recently discovered that my gums are receeding.

This discovery, made on my own via an aggressive examination with a magnifying mirror and a consult with Dr. Google (What?! He was right about the prolapsing uterus and the plantar fascitis), is going to give me nightmares about my teeth falling out until such time as I can see my dentist for some reassurance (Monday, 8:00 a.m.).

In addition, I had to dye my hair again a couple of nights ago; for the third time in two months because my gray hair resists color like the Pope rejects Satan.

Getting old sucks. Granted, it beats the alternative but, still.
