I have just seen on TV that old people may die because of the tablets they are taking to keep them alive. Seeing that I am 80 next Birthday and I want to see City in the top flight again my question is:- Do I stop taking the tablets now?
So you'll die if you keep taking them. But if they are keeping you alive, presumably, you'll die without them? So yeah, I'm scratching my head too.
Can you get the NHS to make your tablet invoice cheque out to cash and then put the money in a transfer kitty? That's the most likely way of seeing City in the top flight again any time soon.
As a guy in his seventies now I love that beautiful line uttered by Frank Sinatra in the film Pal Joey when his Doctor told him that if he didn't give up alcohol then he would die, Frank replied "I've seen more old drunks then I've seen old Doctors"! I wouldn't drink in a month now what I used to drink in a day when I was working on an Asphalt Road Gang in my prime. I am neither ashamed or proud of it, that was they way it was, we worked hard, drank hard and lived hard - "Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end". I met my wife when I was 42 years of age and she was a mere 19 with a 38-24-36 figure and nobody (including us) thought it would last yet here we are celebrating our 30th year together. There are no words to describe that sort of feeling so, should you take your tablets? - if they are the reason why you are enjoying life then by all means take them. If not then stop now. Life is for living. Did either of us think that we would see Hull City in the EPL? No! But we did see it and we bawled our eye's out unashamedly at the end of THAT game when THAT goal took us to the 'promised land'! I've got to go now, time for my pills! (lol).
My doctor said I have to take 1 tablet per day for the rest of my life.... he only gave me 7!!!!! The old ones are the best!!!!
