Will my memory become even more squishy than it already is?

I already have the beginnings of arthritis, I fear.

Will I develop that shrinking slouch so many tall older people get?

I already feel like I'm aging before my time. Took a left at puberty and straight into menopause...

So, yeah, I kinda understand that fear. Because though a lot of people improve with age, I have a feeling I'll be just the opposite. It won't happen with grace so much as with a ravaging, unstoppable force.

Bah.
