Geezer is a state of mind or attitude. An older dude that gets around with a walker, sits on his porch and yells at kids to get off his lawn is a geezer. That same aged guy that rides a bike and whistles at hot babes.. not a geezer.
I take it he was waiting the full 4 hours before seeking medical assistance?
You got it. He told me he didn't think he had enough blood pressure anywhere else in his body. I told him to have mom call him an ambulance he said "shes in there asleep and I'd rather die this way than lay in the ER pitching a tent in a hospital gown!" Last I heard that night he was gonna go get some ice. So at 83 he's still kicking trying not to be a geezer.
You're officially a geezer if your idea of a road trip is when you and your OL put on your matching riding duds and cruise over to Shoney's or Golden Corral to meet your other oldster buddies for the early bird special!
You become a "geezer" when you start acting like one. Just turned 71 and in my mind I'm still in my teens. Some people become geezers in their mid 20's. Life stages are all a state of mind.
