I agree. However, in February, I spent two days in a large local hospital having a colonoscopy. I was furious by the time I left.
All of the staff, from doctors to nurses, etc. looked at my age (80) and automatically treated me as if I was a doddering old relic incapable of doing ANYTHING. After about the sixth nurse asked me if I could stand by myself, I assured her that I'd mounted and balanced a set of tires on my minivan two days before. They even sent a physical therapist to see if I was capable of walking up, and back down, 4 stair steps. I walked up and down a flight of ten steps in the time it took him to do the 4.

I don't think it's asking too much to be treated respectfully and with the assumption that I have all my faculties, both physical and mental. If I have a physical ailment, I want it fixed so I can get on with my life.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
