So foot doctor tell me I have an unhealed fracture and arthritis in right ankle. Then says, I will not put you in a boot because you probably will NOT wear it. She had me pegged in 5 minutes. Smart doctor. lol.

True, but consider the alternative.
I'll be 65 next Spring. I work out daily (elliptical - low impact, and weight routine) and walk the dog every day. I try to stay active. But I enjoyed running for years, and now my knees are paying me back. Our dog will be 4 next year and she can run and jump like a pup, and pulls me along. I keep saying, "Honey, I can't go that fast" and "Heel!"
What really gets me is when something starts hurting and you have no idea what you did to it. Probably nothing, just something "acting up."

75 here. I workout religiously so it is going Ok. I do find you can get hurt without really doing anything.
82, and i don't do a damn thing
It does, but I thought it would take longer
Did you ever get you vitamin D level checked. I was low a couple years back and had pain show up in multiple places. Went away when I started taking vitamin D3
Arthritic knee is keeping me off the bicycle while I try PT. It seems to e working but I'm not yet back on the bike. Things take time at 78 yrs old. I'm biding my time on the pool table and more than holding my own. Crazy as it seems I tend to log about one mile walking with each pool session
I've been taking vitamin D3 for years. I'm 75 and pain shows up in multiple places. Is there a vitamin D4 for me?
The problem I had yesterday at the gym was that I just lost focus. You need to keep telling yourself that you’re going on 70; it’s okay to push yourself but you gotta be mindful.

Getting old is great. You nick your hand w/ a screwdriver? Instant blood flow, and immediate bandaid application. You take a shower and end up washing your hair (if you have any) twice b/c you can't remember if you washed it the first time.
Also, you get to lust after Kohl's Mom instead of Sydney Sweeney.

Two years ago I had cataract surgery along with LASIK, went to 20/20 from 20/800. Good luck.
Funny Everyone Loves Raymond episode about LASIK where Ray uses a coupon for Deborah's surgery, and her eyes are all effed up for a week.
Wasn’t that King of Queens?
It was King of Queens. Yeah, funny episode. Just so you know, there was no way I was gonna f with my eyesight.
You guys are still too young to know just what 'old-er' really is. BTW - 'Never Give Up' - from my book!
Remember - 'every sunrise and every sunset - is a blessing'
Take care..........

Oh, absolutely. That said, Doug was stupider than Raymond and Carrie was hotter than Debra.
Yes. There was nothing low key about Carrie's hotness. Debra had her moments though.
I'm 73. I walk and do a lot of work around the house. Yesterday I spent 5 hours blowing and picking up leaves. This time of year I'll do leaves twice a week. I do all my yard work which keeps me very active. I also play trumpet in 3 bands....3 different genre. On Wednesdays I rehearse 4 hours with 2 of the bands. That can be a workout if you know anything about the dynamics of playing a trumpet. I really don't have time to go to the gym. I'm in pretty good health. All my numbers are good. The only chronic condition I have is mild neuropathy in my feat. And that really doesn't impact my quality of life too much.
I am 61 and have been under general anesthesia 25 times now. I am fighting a full thickness tear in rotator cuff as long as I can before i go under for 26. My recent coloscopy came back clean, indicating at least that part of my body is healthy.
"So I got that goin' for me, which is nice"

I love to pull this routine on my wife on a regular basis. "Honey, where are the scissors?"
Drives her insane
And in the historical annals of idiot sitcom fathers-in-law, Arthur Spooner takes the cake. Remember his surprise party? Sitting out on the front steps waiting for them to let him in for the surprise party, unaware that each of the guests had, over the course of the night, realized that Arthur had, in one way or another, screwed them over, and had left.
I give myself ten minutes in the sauna after every workout. Bigly impacts recovery.
