Getting older

11 hours sleep? I wish I could get 4 uninterrupted without getting up 4 times to piss. What the hell? Maybe if I don't drink anything after 11:00 AM I could get a good nights sleep.

Try at 50 getting up 6 times a night.

Was so happy when I got on the high blood pressure pills. Only had to get up twice a night. But try not to drink much after 7pm.

And if I wake up in the morning without getting up I'm a happy chappy until I walk into the office at work. And that's why I have high blood pressure .

But strangely enough if I go out to a bar and get tanked I sleep right through the night.

Go figure.
 
Well you've solved the problem - get tanked up every night - Simples!!

Man I know exactly what you mean I'd get up so many times I was starting to have prostrate or some other old man disease. Told the doctor he said thats good your plumbing is working. I want to here from you when you can't piss. Now lets see whays waking you up so much. Ask about my hypertension and I told him ive always had a fast metabolism. He said no your blood pressure is stipp up the borderline. Put me the blood pressure medication and some kind of statin pill for Cholesterol. Anyway I could not believe how my sleep changed. I think I was never going down long enough to achieve that rem sleep dream area. Now I dream I talk to my wife even if she's 1000 miles away. Not sure why she's pestering me while I'm sleeping I tell you though this getting old stuff was not on my list of things to do.

Work refers to me as the grumpy old welder. Took offense to the old part. The shop supervisor refers to me as the Old Man. Their is a time when you just have to accept it and go on. The other welder in the shop i have known for over 20 years. He is 55 years old and i am 62 years old. We both get a good laugh out of auditors that visit the shop. When they enter the weld department they are stunned that the company only has two welders and both are old. Between the two of us we have over 50 years experience in Aircraft parts. A auditor has very little chance of asking a question without one of us knowing the answer. 99% of the time the auditors just ask "How long have you two been welding"? We tell them and they nod and move on.
