I must be getting old

[deanotile]

I started moving the stone in to the house yesterday and got the shock of my life “I am old “ as a lad I would have moved it all in on my lonesome in one go. starting at 7.30 it would have been don by diner time. But not any more I started at 7.30 but I was blowing my breakfast by 10.00 and I only moved 2 crates in. then today I was chopping the old adhesive of the floor and it has nearly killed me off. I am in agony It hurts all over.

welcome to my world deano

ive had a heart op after 6 heart attacks and im diabetic

a lot of blokes would have gone on disability

not me , I just get frustrated I cant go as fast as I used too

[Dave]

It's called wear and tear deano..... I'm the same, fit to drop...been a rough week..

[user123]

Ooh, join the club! I am glad I am not doing up houses now the way I did in my 20's, but then again it's only the comparison to then that makes things frustrating. Just getting it done at all is what really matters, if it's a bit slower and with more rests, so what? Who put a time on it? Getting frustrated takes energy , too, what a waste that is. So just enjoy .... after recovering.. and take your fish oils and your Devil's Claw herb, works wonders

My back has gone my knees are on there way out and I should go and see the doctor so herindoors tells me. My reply is I don’t need a doctor I am hard as nails me. But the truth is I am a big girls blouse. The last time I went to the doctors he told me I had cancer so I’m not going and I will be ok.

Your only as old as the women you feel!

Me -
I can't remember the biggest job I've done.
I can't remember where I was working last Month.
My son does all the heavy lifting ( while I make the tea)
But I don't ache like I used too when I was younger - paracetamols I think!
