I spent one night in the hospital in my life. I was past 75 when that occurred.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always thought I was going to die before I was 60.
I guess I can be surprised I'm alive. I'm taking a little better care of myself than when I was a young person. My father died when he was 63. My mother made it to 74. My grandparents, God, they were dropping like flies.
This year, when I turn 65, I thought, 'So weird;' when I was a kid, people who were 65 either retired or died. I'm so nowhere near that.
I'm the oldest 26-year-old I know. A lot of experience has been crammed into a short amount of time. Some days I feel a good 65, 70. Like I want to lie down.
My dad died when he was 60. I was only 17 and I think, psychologically, that had a huge impact on me, probably more than I realised.
When I was 11, I spent eight months in the hospital with rheumatic fever and almost died.
I had a great '70s. I survived it, and that's always good news.
I was very blessed with a good body. Never got hurt. Never was in the hospital. The only time I was in the hospital was when I would get exhausted a little bit, and go in for a check-up or something.
At 40, I went to bed for three days. I thought my life is over.
Seventy years old! How did that happen? I was part of the generation that wasn't going to die.
