Yes, I am and age is relative. The best thing is to count your blessings, work on a positive asttitude, and then the misery will not seem so bad. If you play the self pitty game, you will feel terrible most of the time and become depressed. There is joy in all stages of life regardless of our health problems, we just have to focus on things other than our misery.
I'm 71, my wife and I fast walk 3 miles every day. Eat right and exercise every day. We both are not a pound over weight. Our kids and grandkids can't keep up with us. I do all my yard work... I very well could afford to have it done but I enjoy having something to do. We travel, several major trips each year.
Life is what you make of it.... age shouldn't change that! Life is great! Enjoy every day!
Hi Caroleye......am so sorry to hear about your illness that has
limited your ability to do what you use to. I am 61 and up until last year I danced in a jazz class two nights a week and
finished up law school and took the California bar.....and through this I had pain which I thought was sciatica. After I
took the bar I took the time to go to a few docs and found out
that I have bone on bone osteoarthritis up my right hip..Yes, its fixable but until I get my hip resurfaced, which the FDA has not approved in the U.S. I can walk in the grocery store if I have somethinfg to lean on and can walk
around my house....no dance, no law job and much pain but I just know that things will be better in the future and am putting all my energy into new changes in my life. It is
very difficult not to feel sorry for yourself....you did not say
what you are sufferinfg from ? Karen
Well,, think I'm on the wrong board. When one has been chronically ill with Lupus, CFS, Fibromalgia for over 20+ years, you have a very different perspective.
And those who have not experienced these limitations just don't understand.
But I'm happy for those who have not had to do this.
Anyone over 60?
