My Grandmother said it wasn't easy getting old, and she was right. I did odd-jobs for her, and do similar jobs for my neighbours today. I am still (fairly) young, but a household accident made me walk a mile in elderly shoes - with a cane.
The week was humiliating, frustrating and painful. I could not do everything I needed to do, I incurred additional expense for various conveniences, and I overworked my good side, straining my back.
Now I know why people retire, the effort of everyday living leaves them too tired to work!
Since my insight I spend more time at my desk: My future is bright, but it won't be free or easy.
