47 is the year I got old. I've become aware of a noticeable decline in my short range vision. I can't read my phone text without great difficulty a foot from my face. I limp, almost perpetually from jogging. I don't heal like I once did. If I play a game of ball, I used to be sore the next day. Now, I'm recovering for a week.
This year, I have an injury that won't heal from softball last Summer. After I run, I limp. I have noticed a loss of muscle mass in my quads. I'm always tired. I go to bed at 9 p.m. I'm tired! My vision is starting to suck. I ache all over from working out. It wakes me at night. I get up two and three times a night to pee.
I haven't noticed a loss of reflexes, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. Actually, I fear reflexive action, as a sudden violent vigorous exertion of energy could leave my back/shoulders/hips and legs in pain for hours.
And, I'm planning on fighting it every step of the way. I am not giving up.
