Old Hands

[jaynewcastle]

Many years ago in my late 20's, I read a comment about how your hands were one of the first physical indicators to show you were getting old(er)

Now in my early 50's, I keep remembering that comment as I look & think, I have got "old hands" 

 

Just curious as to whether most "older" people agree with this

I guess so, my old hands and right forearm have gotten thinner skin and the odd white spot.  Shows up more if I’m a bit dehydrated.

Right arm is from fat-arming along the Highway for years in the Australian sun.

My fingers have osteoarthritis and hurt a lot in the joints and have misshapen..... Welcome to old age

I have vitiligo on both hands, elbows, knees and feet.  Plus, I’m starting to see it coming up on my face.

I have had some arthritus in my hands for the last 12 years or so, not looking forward to it getting any worse

Actually its true..as my mum said you can tell how old a person is from there hands..

I've got hands that look in the full Blush of youth. Unfortunately, my face looks like an audition for Last of the Summer Wine on a  blustery day in the dales.
