Paid another visit to my great grandmother today in this geriatric recovery ward or something like that. I have never seen so many elderly people in my life. Okay, maybe I have, but I have never seen so many helpless elderly people in my life. Watching them being strapped to their wheelchairs so they don't fall off, their eyes fixated on the television so languidly whilst their food is being prepared just depresses me. There was no animation in the room, all of them merely hollow shells of what they once were. Listless, dispirited, debilitated. The sight of them eating was even more morose. Some had to be spoon-fed because they couldn't use their hands; some had to spit out the chicken slices which were too large to chew; some had to bob their heads up and down just to swallow their food. Granted, most of them were over 90 years old but it kind of gives you a reality check. In 60-70 years, that is what I'll probably look like that. That is how helpless I can possibly be when I'm 9 decades old. I don't want to lose my teeth. I don't want to have deteriorating motor functions. I don't want to be so feeble that I need help taking a shower and dressing up. I don't want to have to pee through a tube. Ironic that we are born helpless and we die just the same.
Now I understand why some people are so afraid of growing older. Heh.
