greetings, my aging friends!
before asking you this question, i tried to do some research on the thought that 'hard work never killed anyone,' but, man, can it cripple you!
what i wanted to figure out is something better than you're getting older and tireder.. many of us have done hard physical labor most of our lives and see no prospect of retirement.
Thank you, dear friends, for all your kind words and helpful advice.
I hope to respond later after I rest up from work. My intent has been that the information and personal experiences posted on this thread should help us as we age yet endeavor to remain positive in our thinking. You all seem very upbeat in your outlook, and I'm grateful for that!
Love and peace,
CoCo

Have a good day, all!
Off and running (well, figuratively speaking!) to work.

Thanks, Scott77!
Great read! We want to remain engaged with life:
“Exercising has changed my whole aspect on what aging means,” she said. “It’s not about how much help you need from other people now. It’s more about what I can do for myself.” Besides, she said, gossiping during her group walks “really keeps you engaged with life.” |

I'm sorry to hear this, stillin!
I can relate totally with your situation, which closely resembles mine.
Yes, a few days off, a few days off . . . We may feel recovered during that moment of respite, but back at the hard work we both must do, the increasing lack of mobility and resultant pain are exasperating. I hope you can find some level of balance, stillin!
Seems we'll be working till that last moment. ???
Peace.

Good morning, Zoos, cultBgone, bsmart and jgnat:
Your kind and helpful words are much appreciated. THANKS!
Yes, Zoos, exercise is very important. Got to keep moving, even if slowly!
I understand what you mean about diet, cultBgone. Lots of vegetables here and no pro-food. Thanks for your commiseration!
It's good you've found a remedy, bsmart, for your condition. Something that works. !
Thankfully, your setbacks haven't hampered you, jgnat. I've always pictured you as a woman of action -- KUDOS!
Gratefully,
CoCo

Hope you get some relief, fiddler!
Getting out in nature is key to our physical and mental health. I drank it all in 2 days ago in one of our most beautiful 'hoods, but I moved like a snail (I had gotten off work and was beat).
Here's wishing you stay happy while you look for answers! Sounds like you made some good moves re: your health.

Many of us have done hard physical labor most of our lives and see no prospect of retirement. After 4 or 5 hours of work on the job, I literally hobble back to my vehicle in pain. So then, what I found online is this term "limited mobility." Is it, then, all about aging and losing our stamina? Does hard work cause inflamation in our joints?
I know what I have to do personally to cope both with physical limitations and the resultant anxiety.
Please share what you know and how you deal with 'growing old in this system of things'!
Thanks.

this here is very educational.. http://www.funtrivia.com/tournament/jwd-trivia-quiz-75350.html.
come on, y'all.. sylvia.
I was in the middle of watching an old movie when a character said that Spanish metal was no match for English mettle . . . was it "Sea Hawk"? To riddle one of those old wooden barks with sea worms must have been a curse to the seafaring folk.
