This is from my nurse's e-mail.
I thought we could use some laugh as we go thru what this senior has gone thru.

This person must be a male nurse ? Anyway, that's not the issue here.
It's just that a male shouldn't sound like this.

Older people tend to avoid something strange to them,
such as the new technological marvels of today.
When they see that their grandchildren are better than they are at these things,
they get into subconscious inferior complex and then "resent and resist".

This is not the right way to spend our senior years.
Just get at the darn thing and read a few lines of the instruction !!
Then you will be as good or better than your grandchildren.
Running away from it does not solve anything.
Because you will be still unhappy after you ran away as far as possible.
Don't whine that life isn't as simple as it used to be.
It had never been simple even in old days. You are looking at the wrong direction.

You came a long way fighting through the hard times,
and now don't be a looser. What's wrong to take on one more chapter of fighting?
Keep on fighting as you used to do. You have done it all this years
and why not now !!

Just take the darn thing on your forehead and get into it.
It is much easier than you think.

Bravo !!
I like the fighting spirit !
That's why I'm one of the people who admire you.
However, I must say you are an exception.
The reality is what we all know.
Most old brains would say, "Enough is enough. This stuff is too much for the old brain."
Personally, I do what I can within my ability. If that's not enough, I look for help.
This way I can manage to keep up, always keeping in mind not to stress myself but
enjoy learning something new.

You're wrong.
The nurse is a lady, two years older than me, a RN who helped me start my practice in 1971,
now working one day a week to makes sure my medical practice stay on course according to
my plan and desires.

Oh, I got the "male" idea from the following phrases in the article.
...I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife...
...I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross...

I was talking about the original writer of this article, not the messenger (your nurse).
It seems that I got mixed up somehow in thinking that the author was a nurse. ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ.

A senior person should never be living in a premature "self-pity".
And he should never give up on something that he can perfectly handle with.
As you might have noticed, the author thought himself  to be witty, cute, and smart
when he threw the final punch line in the last phrase of the article.
Then, why all these whining talk about giving up?

O, I see.
What's matter with you.
A male nurse does not run a business with 1800 emplyees.
By the way, it's "loser", not "looser."
I finally caught you. ㅎ,ㅎ,ㅎ,
