Enrolling in Medicare

There have been some moments in my life that have resulted in my suddenly feeling old.

Curiously, the birthday that hit me hardest wasn't one you'd expect: 30, 40, 60. It was 26. Quite out of the blue, I became depressed, if only briefly.

Today, I enrolled for Medicare on line.

Recently, I received an update on Social Security stuff that instructed me that I must enroll in Medicare three months before turning age 65, even if I don't plan to receive benefits, or there might be problems with coverage later on. So, I did.

And, upon completing the process, I felt old.

Feeling it now doesn't surprise me as it did when I turned 26. But, I feel old...

...an AM old.
