Yes I am always dropping things and I hate it. Mainly in the kitchen when I am nervous or obsessing. Nothing bad has occurred. Maybe my hands are not as agile. Or nerves or state of mind. Don't worry about it until you break a valuable

For forums it's considered senior but in real life not so much.....think of everyone you know who is famous , who is 55 or around that age.. ..and you'll see what I mean.
Courtney Cox .. 56.
Cindy Crawford
Shania Twain
Janet Jackson
Gloria Estefan

All that said, chronic pain can make you feel and look older....
i don't ever look at celebrities as a guide to aging. ever. i may seem young to many here. i may even be young in comparison but, i don't look or feel young and as i told Pepper...i accept what i've become. but just because the celebs look young doesn't mean a thing to me. they can afford enhancements. otherwise they'd look like crap too.For forums it's considered senior but in real life not so much.....think of everyone you know who is famous , who is 55 or around that age.. ..and you'll see what I mean.

Well they don't all have enhancements... but you;re right don't be looking at them physically as a guide to how you should look... what I meant more was that they are much younger and more active than what most people would consider a senior in their 50's....i don't ever look at celebrities as a guide to aging. ever. i may seem young to many here. i may even be young in comparison but, i don't look or feel young and as i told Pepper...i accept what i've become. but just because the celebs look young doesn't mean a thing to me. they can afford enhancements. otherwise they'd look like crap too.

problem is not dropping things but the targeting portion of my brain. When I put something down it misses the resting place, but then when I turn around and reach for it I miss.. Used to be I could throw a tshirt up in the air raise my arms spin around and it would be on and tucked, now I have to struggle to find the neck hole. Used to be I reach for something and it would leap into my hand, or turn a page and it did it on its own, now I have to physically reach for my shoe laces one at a time to tie them or they just hang there.....har

Hmmm.... I can't say that I notice dropping things more often these days. Of course, I'll be on the lookout for it now and it will seem like I'm doing it all the time.
