I know how you feel. I’m 73
and have arthritis in both knees and have a back condition that requires physical therapy. I had an epidural all around my spine almost two years a go.
I was also told that I have a cataract coming in on my right eye
It is no fun getting older, so
we need to try and gently
move our bodies and feed our minds .

My right cataract is stable. My left is progressing. I have never worn reading glasses and I'm 68. Cataract surgery is inexpensive with insurance. I was quoted $1700 total inc anesthesia. My landlord paid $9,000 with no insurance. He was legally blind for 2 years! Progression varies by individual. I'm doing my surgery before the end of the year.

I also have macular degeneration but it's mild.

Anyhoo keep the faith up. Best wishes in your health struggles.
