Dear Diary : New Car, New Body or New Doctor
Dear Diary - New Car, Body or Perhaps New Doctor
Went for my annual check-up yesterday …
Funny thing I noticed, my doctor is looking a little older than I remember him since last year. Actually come to think of it I thought he looked a little old last year too! Such a shame, he was such a good looking man, men do not age as well as we do! … do they?

What really annoys me though is he keeps trying to make me look like the ‘old one’. Get this, yesterday he told me that I am now at the age where my bones are more brittle so I should 'stay off tables' … ! Oh, and he also said I should be wearing more comfortable ‘sensible’ shoes. I told him to back off my shoes already - I like my stilettos, and I only wobble after a few bubblys, other than that I am quite stable on them.
You know Dear Diary, I find myself wondering just when exactly was it that my arrival at the surgery for my annual check-up suddenly became an embarrassing annual ordeal.
First up, I do not like the new, fresh out of school 'I know nothing yet' staff that they employ down at the surgery nowadays. No people skills, no idea who I AM! Average age is what, maybe 18. You know, when the other gals were there, when I walked into the surgery they would wave and merrily chirp ‘Hi ya Dorrie – how are ya, hey wow don’t you look fit, you been working out?”
Nowadays, those young ones greet me with “Hello Dorrieeeee, Oh my, hang on a sec you don't want to get your dress caught in the door now, do you?” … or, “Careful weeee don’t want to trip on that step now do we”, or worse still and loud enough so everyone in a 10 mile radius can hear – “You just relax Dorrie dear, when doctor is ready for you one of us will help you onto the examination couch!”
I mean come on!! But, Dear Diary to really add fuel to the fire, yesterday one of these bright young whipper-snappers gleefully handed me a note and announced so that all in the surgery could hear …
“Dorrie, this is too funny, we thought of you as soon as we read it and just knew you would enjoy it. Oh please let me read it out so everyone can have a laugh!
Diary Note: Grrrrr! That girl, what’s her name … whatever, I won’t be taking her any home-made fudge this year – or hang on a bit maybe I will …Mmmm!
Anyway Dear Diary off she went – I could not believe my ears, it did not sound a bit like me, sounded more like Ann, Cate or Jo, or hey! it was just totally Alma … NOT ME!
Anyway here is what she read out …
IF MY BODY WERE A CAR...
If my body were a car, it is around about now I would seriously be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and on top of all that …my paint job is getting a little dull ...
But that's not the worst of it.
My headlights are out of focus, one points up and the other is out to side somewhere and it's getting especially hard to see things up close.
Then there is my traction - it is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even on the best of surfaces and in the best of weather.
My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.
It takes me forever to reach my maximum speed – and it seems, my fuel rate now burns inefficiently.
But here's the worst of it --
Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires!
Now where is my Fudge Recipe?

Thanks NFL!
It is a good habit to write in a diary and share personal incidents with others for a great lesson.
True and it would seem that Dorrie herself agrees with you!!
Celebrate Life and all its incredible moments

This is useful instruction, keep on posting it.
Also an interesting information and useful suggestions for me.
thanks for all
@Lorrette: You shared it here, so I don’t think it matters much that she read it for everyone. I don’t like the “I am fresh out of school” attitude for some of them but most are still helpful and no complaints there. And I have learnt to accept that I am getting older

Hi There Chris
What you say is true – and you know you have something there … ‘accepting that you are getting older’ … this is something we may as well all do, cause there really is not much we can do to change it. However, I do believe that we should also be prepared to laugh more at life … surely it has to help lighten the load!! Yes ?
Celebrate ‘Old’ with as Big A Smile As You Can Give!!
Cheers
Lorrette
Well, all are right but are there any things wrong?
i did’t like this blog.
We are sorry to hear that. Perhaps one day you will feel differently. In the meantime though …
Enjoy good things … always
Lorrette
Cheeky whipper snappers. Good job you’ve got a good sense of humour! Youth is wasted on the young.

That’s true Lorrette , But we don’t have an another option to go for.. Either we have to buy a new car, body or a good doctor… we either do not know on which we spend our saving…..

I new outlook on things can do wonders for all aspects of your life. I love taking a fresh approach when things get stale.
Right on Doug! you have hit the nail on the head.
Cheers
Lorrette
i think with a new body all of those things would be possible.
I am right with you there Matt – as no doubt are many of us …hear, hear!!
Cheers

I hate the movement in which people keep trying to make us look like the ‘old one’. I can understand your feeling try to be young and energetic.
You got that right!
