I understand that, Lloyd, but maybe from a different perspective. At 70 I am feeling better each day. I press ahead joyfully, constraining myself to eat right and exercise each day almost to the point of exhaustion, to attain the goal of reaching 100 in condition to shoot doves and enjoy it. It's work, it's not easy, but it can be done. I may not reach that goal but, I'm convinced I can. I have farmed for over 50 years, but have enjoyed the last year of it as much or more as I have any year in the last 50. It's a state of mind, honestly.
Push hard, don't take the doc's recommendations to go on blood pressure medicine, or other "senior citizen's meds" until you have exhausted every other avenue. The only prescription meds I take are eye drops for glaucoma, in my right eye (my shooting eye
). Doc told me recently, concerning my exercise regime, that he never saw anybody who hated to take medicine any more than me. You're are truly as young as you feel.
