Medic!

So I went for a physical this past week. I haven't been in over four years. My doctor made sure to point that out to me numerous times. :P

Something he said though kinda made me a bit depressed. So he said that I'm no longer a young man. I joked that since the last time I saw him, I guess it's been all downhill. He half jokingly, but definitely half seriously, responded that it's been all downhill after 20 years old. Oh man, it's been 10+ years of downhill already!

I guess he does have a point, there is a noticeable difference between 20, 25 and 30, from a physical well being standpoint. But to think it only gets worse made me a combination of scared and sad. I was getting questions that I had not gotten before. Words like "chronic" and "nagging" were prevalent. To top it off, I now have to get a bunch of tests that I was never tested for.

All of a sudden, I felt really old. Perhaps it's made me realize my age as well.

I don't know how else to phrase it, but it was a sad, sad day. :\
