Getting old.

Von Smallhausen · 11-06-2008, 18:18

At the weekend, I went to a job where an old lady took ill when carers went to her house and there was no way in.

I didn't have any entry equipment with me so I reverted to the old Sweeney technique of booting the door in where I found the old dear collapsed but otherwise concious and soon she was up again although she was not in good health and had to use a frame etc.

It hammered home the occassional reminder that I am actually a bit scared of getting old.

Anyone else feel the same ?
