Prescription to feel older

Dear Fellow Patients,
In my last post I provided a prescription to feeling younger, but one of my faithful patients has pointed out to me that she feels plenty young being around children all day long.  So as the wonderful Doctor that I am, I have researched and found a prescription especially for her.  Well actually any one can use this prescription if they feel they are surrounded by little children all day.  This prescription is one that I have personally  tried, and it has proven to be a success in my life.
First I would like to tell my fellow patients how I stumbled upon this new and wonderful treatment.  As many of my patients know I attend BYU-Idaho.  While attending this wonderful, amazing, spectacular university I developed some back pain.  Yes, I know it is hard to believe that someone as amazingly fit, and handsome I might add, could have back pain at my young and buff age.  So after being forced to go to a Doctor by my big sister/mother figure LaNelle Sheridan Simons, I found this wonderful treatment in order to feel older.
I was referred to a spinal specialist after speaking with my Doc.  This is where the treatment began.  As my big sis/mother figure, who i will refer to as MAH which means Mother Away from Home, took me into the spinal specialist I thought I had walked into bingo night at the retirement home.  I was the Youngest patient there by probably 70 years.  As I hobbled over to the desk I had to make my way through an obstacle course of walkers, wheelchairs, and canes.  I do believe i was the only one besides my MAH with my real teeth.  I am sure that many of these patients were suffering back pains because of the hard trip across the plains to escape persecutions from the people in Missouri.
After being around this quite aged people and seeing that they have the same pains that I do, I no longer feel as young and buff as I used to feel.  It is quite amazing how this treatment has worked.  I am sure that anyone who is suffering from FLALPBYASBTAD disease, for those who are not medically trained as myself do not know what FLALPBYASBTAD means i will tell you.  It means Feeling Like A Little Person Because You Are Surrounded By Them All Day.  So anyone suffering from FLALPBYASBTAD disease please try this outstanding prescription.  
Over the past couple of months I have been to many Doctors for my back.  My back has not really gotten any better, but I do not feel like a child any longer.  This treatment is monumental.  
So my prescription today is: If you want to feel older 1. Hurt your back 2. Come with me to a Doctors appointment or 3. Go play bingo.
Well the Advice is in and the Doctor is out
Sincerely,
Dr. Drew

I love you blog. It always makes me laugh so hard. I know how you feel though. I feel so much older since everything has started to fall apart not to mention that I make a lot of noise when walking because of my "noisy" joints. I sound like an 80 when I walk down a hall. Needless to say, I could never sneak up behind some body unnoticed. Hope your back starts feeling better soon.

AHHHHHHHHH HAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAA! That was hilarious...and sadly SO TRUE. I'll never forget that lovely little smelly doctor's office where the lady doctor thought you were lying until she looked at your back and the people in the waiting room talked way too loud and still had to say..."WHAT???" After every sentence haha. I'm laughing just thinking about it

Andrew, you are hilarious. I happen to have very fond memories of playing bingo at the Jamil Temple with MaMaw and Lou when I was in high school. I loved it...never ever won but loved being with them and I'd go TODAY if they were here!!!

Or, you could develop abnormally high pressure in your eyes & have to see a glaucoma specialist in Columbia, where all the patients are at least 75 & the tv is tuned to the station that shows those lame "Judge ____" shows all day long. Yeah, my girls & I visited that office several times two years ago. Fun times.
