In the Middle

Coping with aging parents, growing kids and everything in the middle

I feel bad about my neck

October
6

I was one of the people who rushed to read Nora Epron’s book about aging when it came out three years ago.

I also identified with Ephron’s obsession: I’m not crazy about my neck either.

This morning, I flipped on the TV to see that the CBS Early Show is doing a series on new, less invasive ways to fight aging. Watch this clip, however, and you’ll feel sorry for the CBS producer who volunteered her face to be injected on national television.

I think she should come back on the air in a few weeks and we’ll see if the swelling and weirdness are gone.

Meanwhile, I’ll  just take off my glasses when I look in the mirror. Nothing like a myopic haze to wipe years off your appearance.

Can any of you tell us what it’s like to have Botox or fillers? You can post anonymously. Please!! Tell us!

    Don’t know what it’s like to have had such a procedure, but I like your approach to aging best: Take off your glasses! Priceless!

About this blog

We've been called "the sandwich generation" and with good reason. Most of today's baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) are dealing with aging parents and college-age kids -- or starting again as empty nesters, adapting to a new life without children at home.


In the Middle will address a variety of topics, including caring for aging parents (medical, ethical, emotional and financial issues) and caring for parents long-distance (what do we do when parents live out of state, or are citizens of another country and we can't bring them to the U.S. for medical care?).


It will also cover the way we deal with the financial and emotional demands of our teenage and young-adult children. Middle age also presents its own "crises": How do we handle that first mailing from AARP? Preventive health screenings (like colonoscopies and bone-density tests)? What are the dating options for those who find themselves single in middle age?


In the Middle will explore all these topics and more, as we share resources and learn from each other's experiences.
