Oh, poor aching joints! My aunt is 88 and having all sorts of troubles with an infection in her foot and was back and forth in the hospital and her back is fused so she can't do anything with her feet (can't bend at all) and before that was falling because of a bad med and that had her in the hospital; a neurologist caught the med and made her discontinue taking that (an antidepressant for her heart problem that was awhile ago and was resolved but no one stopped the antidepressant and they can cause older people to black out and fall if taken too long). I'm not anxious to get that old, am having enough trouble now when I'm "young".
