Well Larry, I hear ya. I,m 62+ and my slow down started 5 yrs ago. Had arthur for some time but needed total knee replace at 57 , at 61 torn rotator cuff/bicept surgery and last Sept cervicle spine surgery to unpinch my spinal cord and prevent furthur parrallisis. Still having bad muscle spasms and had to relearn how to walk and tie my shoes etc. Still getting back feeling and use of left arm and hand. Pretty discouraging and life changing event. I,m retiring this Fri from the factory and plan on driving truck/tractors for local farmers in spring and fall and back doing minor body/paint work on antique tractors etc in summer plus my usual tractor/machinery dealing when timming is right. Just hope physically to be able to do these things. This "dead arm" is starting to get me down but they say I won't get it all back for close to a year. Nerves heal very slowly and mine were pinched pretty bad. My mind is still 40 so I will overcome this. Hardest part of growing old is "graciously" letting the younger ones do things for you. In time I will master that too. At our age we should be "teaching" and not so much doing anyway. Make sure your knowlege and skills get passed on , that's more important than doing an 8 hr labor day.
