Does my Bladder know I'm Middle Aged?


Does my bladder know it's middle-aged?  Apparently so.  Scarcely three months into my restful old age, I started running into the loo 6-7 times a day.  I started losing weight even though I avoid exercising like the plague. (Although I must say I do eat a lot less rice in retirement.)  "AHA!" exclaimed one of my smartass Googly friends.  "You sound diabetic! Woohoo!"  And after googling & Binging all over, I have to agree -- I do seem to have all the symptoms of a diabetic.  I am seeing my doctor in 2 weeks for confirmation (KAISER doctors have more patients than the Vatican has saints.)  So, I have decided to stop using the word *glorious* in reference to retirement.  Now, I'm just pissed.
