How old is elderly?

[Richard L Banks]

If you ask me, elderly is something that isn’t decided by your age but by your mental strength. My aunt, she was 79 when she participated in a marathon. She was very active and energetic. Now, that she is 90, she is experiencing some health problems. She is down with mild cognitive impairment. She is a strong woman. And she is managing herself pretty well. She doesn’t want herself to be a burden for anyone. So, she has been insisting on being admitted to some elderly care center. But we are not ready for that. She is very dear to us. But she is so stubborn that in the end, we all had to give in. So, we looked into it and found an amazing elderly care center that provides 24 hour home care, in Toronto. This way, both her and us can have a win-win situation. We can see her around and also make sure she gets all the care she needed.

Hard to believe but true...

Had lunch at Wendy's yesterday, and asked for the free senior drink they have. The 40 something cashier said "you look too young to get a senior discount".

I needed a good laugh.

Elderly is when you find yourself going to more funerals than weddings.

I do have a few joints that could use some 3 in 1 oil though.

If your joints are squeaking, you're rolling them too tight.

I am 81 and I walk 1 1/8 mile every morning. I have been doing it for years, maybe 15 years. I don't remember exactly when I started.

I read book about "fitness walking". My street is 1/4+ miles long. I don't hurt. I walk 4 lengths of the street.
I had minor heart attack. in 2001. I have no heart problem now.

I am not aware of any physical issues. Start walking daily, no matter how far you can walk initially.

Google "fitness walking".
