I admire people like your dad who keep their shape till the end. Obesity is an epidemic in America. I am late 70’s and try to hit the gym 5-6 times every week, and I have no bend in my posture as well. Exercise is more important to me now than any medications, which luckily I need very very few.
Yeah. It’s hard. LOL, my dad was rarely seen without a cup of black coffee in one hand and a Pall Mall in the other. Heck, that was what eventually got him, but...a man’s gotta be true to himself.
The coffee and smoking did keep his weight down...and at 72 he was up in a hot attic with me wiring stuff, the sweat was pouring off me and I was miserable with all that damned blown in insulation, but...there he was, with no shirt, a pair of wire cutters in his hand, drops of sweat coming off his nose and eyebrows...humming softly as he always did when he was mentally engaged in a task...:)
Glad to hear you have been able to keep yourself in good shape which limits the meds you need. I admire that as well...I aspire to that!
