Almost forty one but still having young kid problems

Today was my doctor's appointment. Thankfully my EKG and everything else that I needed OK ed for surgery looked fine and I have medical clearance. I also took this opportunity to have a check up since my throat has been sore and my ears aching. The doctor didn't seem to concerned with my throat which is getting somewhat better but found that I have a lot of fluid behind both ear drums. If I were a child, I would be scheduled for ear tubes but we are going to try some high end antibiotics and hope that they help. The part that the Doctor and I find funny is that tomorrow I will turn 41 ( Yep ash Wednesday is my Birthday so my cake will be postponed) now at 1 or even four this would not be uncommon but at 41, it is a tad odd. Why is it that I can't hold on to youth with dark hair, or flawless skin.... but nooooooo I get to keep the ear infections !!!!!!! I should have never thrown that penny into that stupid fountain of youth !
