I just had my 84th and am blessed with good health. I take a very small amount of blood pressure medicine. I have been diagnosed with rotator cuff damage right arm (I refused scans, because I would refuse surgery at my age.) I do everything I always did SLOWER and much more carefully, drive, farm, work on cars. I have a four post lift (which is fantastic), but right now I do have to crawl under my A in resurrection because it is not convenient to put on the lift YET. (I still need the lift for other jobs.

I have been told, "Don't give up any activity you can still manage," by two medics. I try to follow that, but I am sure you would all get a laugh watching me get under the A or getting out.

I am blessed with a son who did major bodywork and the painting and another who has rebuilt the engine with me and will be helping more as soon as I get my second COVID serum.

Keep moving. It's good for body and mind.
