Let me speculate..
You feel the same, mind wise but your body doesn't move as well and you're pestered with persistent aches, not bad ones.., but niggles. But not all the time..
I feel it trying to edge through a small window. Leg wont bend far enough. I have to use my hand to move the damn thing!
Exactly right. It's those little things l, and knowing that they'll get worse, or more will come. I remember not even thinking about what I can't do when I was younger, everything was possible...now...well, you get it.
and knowing that they'll get worse, or more will come.
It depends how lucky you are. I am in touch with some people from school days and they all seem to be faring worse than me. Not smoking and being only the occasional drinker has some say.
Yep, I'm both of those too, non-snoker and an occasional drinking. Like I say in the post, I think I'm going pretty well, but time will have the last say.
