I understand sire.. I am getting very close to that time myself with the same problems. My joints are all being eaten by arthritis and a few have already had to be replaced. Then there is the spine. So I do what I can. Heart doc has limited me to less than 25 pounds max.

Funny how the lifetime of experiences changes with time.. As a youngster in High School and a 5 sport varsity athlete in BIG School division I could easily do 400 pound bench presses and military press 300.

19 inch biceps, 44 inch chest and 34 inch waist. 5 feet 10 inches tall. Thick chested.

Amazing how time and disease cuts ya down to almost nothing.. I am sorry to learn you are in the same boat.. Its not fun..
Now my heart is another issue and doc doesn't want me picking up more than 25 pounds. It's great getting older after having served your country in time of war, employed thousands over decades, won thwo state football titles, named all conference three times, and I am being eaten by arthritis in all my joints and have congestive heart failure to boot, which is a terminal sentence..

THis is why if the LOrd gives me the strength to go to Turkey in the Spring with my daughters and family I am so stoked to go.. The very early early Churches Paul started are THERE. The ruins and penty of other historic things..

Well, y'all can always root for some team to have a better day than the BUCKS and beat them.. It ain't likely to happen buy ya can always have hope....

One of these years the SEC (South's Easiest Conference) might get lucky and take down the best team in college football in THESE times. ALABAMA was it for a LONG time.. The Crown has been transferred.

...da problem with me puttin in a toilet is that I am eat up with arthritis and my joints prevent me from bending, or stretching, twisting or turning and my eyes and arms are incompatible. If I get it far enough away that I can see it my arms don't reach it. Task time for me is about over. About all I do is ride the zero turn mower around the palace grounds and make fun of the peasants with their push mowers and weed eaters.
