Once I hit 50 it sounds like the 4th of July when I get out of bed. If I had known I was going to live to be this old I would have taken a lot better care of myself.


I have nothing clever to put here.

After you have knee and hip replacements, and rotator surgeries, you will slow down. Afib will do it also.

Was bulletproof til mid 50s.
Sure, had aches and pains and took longer to recover, but still got it down.

Tore my meniscus, slowed my down a bit, but kept chugging.

Ruptured and bulged a few discs, and REALLY slowed me down.
Actually, stopped me cold, left me on the floor for 43 hours until finally broke down and dialed 911.
LOL, this is AFTER my son used a deer sled and some 2x12s to get me to and in the house.

Just got injections in both shoulders 2 days ago and looking at surgery.

Hardest part is mental, KNOWING I'm going to.go down again at some point and KNOWING there's some stuff that's just beyond my capabilities now, at least solo.

Oh the miles matter quite a bit too. Add 35 years to your age and think how you might feel after a days hard labor.
You should feel please that you have been blessed to live that long, but oh brother, you will feel different than you did at age 33.

I did great till my late 50s. I had a knee replacement 2 years ago that didn't turn out to good so now I can't get a fraction done in a day that I could a few years ago. Now I'm 66.

I had a heart attack because of a 95% blockage on my widow maker at 54, got a stint and still going at 66 trying to live life to the fullest. I like a Bobcat with a root grapple to clear brush and trees more than a chainsaw these days. Glad to be around still having fun and working on stuff at a slower pace.

You don't have to worry about getting old. You have to worry about NOT GETTING OLD!

You realize you aint 25 anymore? When I turned 26! grin I started feeling older, when I hit 42. Broken more bones and got more stitches after 42 than before!

Around the 60 mark had to start slowing down. Got to learn to pace yourself.

62 when I found out I needed a pacemaker/defibrillator. Downhill from there.
