Having fallen a couple of times in the last year
at the age of 69 I can say it’s hard to recover.
I fell last about three months ago, flat on my
face, legs tangled up in an electrical cord.
Managed not to smash my face but landed stiff armed
and did serious damage to my shoulder, no fracture
but still in pain.
At his age falling down is the start of degeneration.
Not a good sign.
If he retires the office, what do they call him?
ExPope, Former Pope.

I can relate to that. I finally swallowed my pride, and started using a cane. Bought me a fancy one, not a plain old-fashioned candy-cane type. Using it has made a difference!

Benedict is now referred to as "Pope Emeritus". So I'm guessing Francis would be "Pope Emeritus" also.
