I seem to need at one nap during the day now, and had to get glasses a few years back and each time I go to the opticians the prescription seems to get stronger.
Also i'm now transitioning to turned based RTS games as i'm just bad st FPS games now.

I'm 46 now, physically, i'm in pretty good shape, I can still run a 5k no problem, and swim a mile etc. I still get told I look mid to late 30's, barely any greys yet but i do have a bald spot now, I have noticed in the last month or 2 though that I have to move my phone further away to be able to read it. My new boss is younger than me, and the early morning loo trips are frequent.
One nap, you must be a youngster.lol

As regards hair loss i use grapeseed extract (copy and paste to follow) grapeseed oil has the ability to inhibit DHT (dihydrotestosterone), so it basically helps slow down the process of hair loss
there's probably loads of contradictory evidence but i have a full head of dark hair that seemed to grow back (started receding at 18) ,ok a few side greys and i vainly apply the hair powder dye stuff to these ( a small tray at a tenner lasts a year or so)

Look on the bright side , my wife takes a shopping bag to collect her meds.
I think she's down to 13 tablets and a jab a day now she's hit her 50's. was 17 a day in her 40's.
She doesn't have a prescription, she has an emily bronte novel
I'll stick to my inhaler on prescription.
Having said that, she handled covid like a trooper(few shivers), whilst i spent a week at the local hospital as all inclusive, free oxygen as desert for a month.
Bring on retirement

Getting up to pee two times in the night.
"Twice a night" is now twice a month and that's if it gets beyond half mast. And the funny thing is, doesn't worry me that much...
A two hour walk in the afternoon has me aching the rest of the day and wincing going up and down stairs. Harder to remember things and if there is background noise or other aural distractions it can be hard to pick up what someone is saying to you.
FPS and RPG games now largely off the menu, anything that requires dextorous hand movement (not helped by peripheral neuropathy) and replaced by train, plane and bus sims.

I definitely know how you feel. Although not even 1x a month.Getting up to pee two times in the night.

It's really weird how people like me and your wife with loads of comorbidities have sailed through COVID, me three times and it was virtually nothing (touch wood).
My Sister and Nephew have very little immune system but sailed through Delta in 2021.
Of course this flies in the face of conspiracy theorists who think everybody who dies from it is those with existing problems.

"Finger up the um no harm done" long as the Dr is generous with the lube . On that note I had mine checked about 4 years ago in Hospital by a female Dr who looked about 21yrs so I knew I was getting old (over 50) she was quite attractive too

My watershed moment was last week when I needed to use the toilet in Wagamama’s on the South Bank. After washing my hands, I stood there looking for the dryer. Checked there were no paper towels - nope. It’s a single cubicle. After a quick look, I spent a determined 90 seconds looking at every wall surface. No luck. Brain working overtime thinking it’s in here somewhere. Perhaps the dryer is outside, I think. No that’s stupid, you’d be using wet hands to open doors. Eventually used the tried and tested technique of thigh swipe and exited. Vainly hoped that I’d see a dryer in the corridor that would mean there wasn’t one in the cubicle
No such luck

I just use my phone camera for that stuff and zoom in, oh wait ...............
I was looking for something on top of a head height wardrobe the other day, couldn't quite see all what was on top so thought ok i'll jump on the spot to give myself a better view. So i jumped, jesus, my knees creaked and i felt pain in them, my legs went weak and i must have risen a whole cm 
years ago I would done that effectively no problem.

Nobody has mentioned:

I've not been to a Wagamama since 2004 or 2005, so I can't remember, but earlier this year, I was in a pub or restaurant and the dryer was built into T-shaped self sensing taps per sink. So you placed your hands in the centre bit of the T and that's where water comes out, then you move your hands to the 2 ends of the T and, again self sensing, it dries your hands. It wasn't that obvious to me, but I tried it when I realised I couldn't see any wall-mounted driers, the same as your situation.
