Kansas wife's husband falling apart

Dear Maude,
I'm really frustrated.  My husband is falling apart.  He is 87
and nothing seems to work any more.  What he still has
creaks and cracks.  He hobbles around the house and
complains of all his aches and pains.
What can I do?
Sad in Salinas

Dear Sad,
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband.
I'll be prayin' up a storm for him and you too!
Gettin' old has been around fer a fer piece.
It goes way back to Methuselah, the first really
old man.
He lived to be 969 years old. (Genesis 5:27).
If Medicaid woulda been around back then
he'd a bankrup the whole dern system
for it got off the ground good.
Now my sixth husband thought he was
healthy as a new born baby before
he died.  Lived to be 88.
He used to go round sayin'
"I'm as healthy as a new born
babe--no hair, no teeth and
I think I jus wet my pants."
Take care now.
And tell that old coot to live today
like it's gonna be his last.
Cause it sounds like it could be.
Love and prayers,
Maude
