Shrinking in my old age.

Over the past few weeks I have measured myself against the wall of our house and I keep getting the same result. 5 feel 11 and a fraction barefoot. :hurt:

I hit 6 feet in the 9th grade. After that I only grew a fraction of an inch but I always measured 6 feet and a fraction my entire adult life. But now, at the age of 70, it appears that I can no longer make that 6 foot gold standard for males. It's down right traumatic! Next month I'm going to have my annual free physical that Medicare gives you and I am going to ask them to measure me on those official doctors scales, but I am afraid I'm not going to like the results. If ever there was a time that the United States should get on board with the metric system let it be now.

 

You think you've got problems.... I used to be 5' 2" and now I'm 5' and my 12 year old grandson looks down at me. ;)
 

I used to be 6'2" in my stocking feet, now even with shoes on I barely reach 6'0". I am lighter than when I was in my 20's.

Nice to see you!!!
 
Yes... I have been shrinking too. Now I need to remember to stand up nice & straight when walking; otherwise mu knuckles scrap on the sidewalk.
 
Thanks for all the replys. I feel better now knowing I'm not the only one. Misery loves company. I just got my driver's license renewed. I went ahead and had them change the height from 6 feet to 5-11. It was traumatic.
 
I've lost almost an inch and a half.
Old age shrinkage is to serve as a warning that our discs are compressing and more easy to blow out.
Don't ask how I became aware of this issue!
