80+ Year Old's

Must stay alert for these indicators:
 
This is what all of us 80+ year olds, and those yet-to-be, have to look forward to!!  This is something that happened at an assisted living center.  The people who lived there had small apartments but they all ate at a central cafeteria. One morning one of the residents didn't show up for breakfast so my wife went upstairs and knocked on his door to see if everything was OK. She could hear him through the door and he said that he was running late and would be down shortly, so she went back to the dining area.
 
An hour later he still hadn't arrived so she went back up towards his room but found him on the stairs. He was coming down the stairs but was having a hell of time. He had a death grip on the hand rail and seemed to be having trouble getting his legs to work right.
 
She told him she was going to call an ambulance but he told her no, he wasn't in any pain and just wanted to have his breakfast. So she helped him the rest of the way down the stairs and he had his breakfast.
 
When he tried to return to his room he was completely unable to get up even the first stair step so they called an ambulance for him.
 
A couple hours later she called the hospital to see how he was doing.
 
The receptionist there said he was fine, he just had both of his legs in one side of his boxer shorts.
 
I am sending this to my children so that they don't sell the house before they know all the facts.

The old GI boxers in the Air Force, even the mediums, me and the wife both could get in a pair. 

We never tried the stairs though.

      I remember those well Jess. I wore tighty whitey's when I went in. Had to wear the boxers so wore the whitey's under them. Trust me, I was not the only one. That is one funny story  Cheesy

Hmm, when I joined the AF and you entered boot camp, anything not issued had to be packed up and sent home....that included my tighty whiteys. My plan was to do as you all did, wear them under the boxers but not a chance, it all went home. Things must have been more strict in the mid 50's.

It was still like that when I went in in 69. Didn't stop me from buying them at the BX after basic. cooldude
