I do feel that way, Pattie. Today was a good example. I HAD to go to the Post Office, and I HAD to pick up a prescription, and I kept telling myself all kinds of things to get out of going. My body hurting all over for one. It's hard to walk, I didn't get enough sleep and etc. I finally just made myself get out of the house. It was extremely hard to walk and do the things I had to do, and I immediately laid down in bed after I got home, but I got the things done I had to do.

I stagnate most of the time and my body is paying for it.

My mother, in 50s, 60s and 70s was as active as she could be. She didn't slow down until her late 70s and 80s. She died at 85 from breast cancer and I know she would have lived longer if she didn't have it.

I was active but should have exercised and taken better care of my physical self. I'm paying for it now, although arthritis is something you can't stop and that's what is wrong now. Weight training (not to build up muscles) is supposed to be good for the joints, isn't it?
