Oh, man. If you think that's the only thing you've got to look forward to, I advise that you go back to bed and pull the covers up over your head.
You can expect to be visited with indignities that make water boarding look like a true/false test. Stuff that has always worked fine will either stop working altogether or not like it used to. Things that were effortless when you were 49 years, 364 days old now require careful planning and execution.
You've entered the "broken hip" zone. Don't fall down. Ice is your mortal enemy, except maybe in a drink or to put on that bruise on your face because you forgot not to fall down.
Young, pretty girls will want to introduce you to their grandmothers.
Pimply faced kids at the McDonald's drive through stop asking if you want fries with that and start asking if you get the senior discount.
AARP will hound you to become a member until your dying day. Don't give in. AARP is for old people. You're not old.
You'll learn that it's a good idea to never pass up a chance to use a men's room. And you'll learn to never trust a fart.
But there is a little ray of sunshine. Every day you are still looking down at the grass is a good day!

I remember 50 as "The good old days".

I almost remember 50. Dimly. I could be thinking of 56 now that I give it some thought.
What was the question?

You're barely old than J, for God's sake.  Every time I look at Doug's signature, that states that if you're older than 50 and wake up without pain, you're dead, I nod my head. |

Stop pissing and moaning you whippersnappers. Once you set SS and Medicare it's all cake.

I'm two years older than you. At least the colon check isn't every year. And it's in the morning, and you get the rest of the day off.

I waited until I was 55 before I had mine. Yes, the prep and indignity are horrible, but which end would you rather be on? The last thing I remember before being knocked out is looking over and seeing the "scope" on a table. On it were marks like a ruler. They started at 1 and went to 75. I remember hoping that those weren't inches. The next thing I remember was waking up and the nurse telling me "No! You cannot take these drugs home!" They were good!  |

After my first one I remember waking up and the female doctor coming to talk to me. I asked her, "How was it?" She said, "You're a perfect ass hole." I took that as a good thing. |

Always good to have a nurse with a sense of humor. |

Sure it means, if you're lucky, you'll be 51 next year. Congrats. And, by the way, the worst thing about the exam is drinking the stuff that cleans you out. Yuck.
