Hoping to make it and still be able to remain active.

My dad is 98-1/2 with advanced heart failure. I am shocked how active he still is - the only thing holding him back the most is not his heart, but his knees which have all but given out (not a candidate for knee replacement & he’s had about everything they can do for him short of replacement). Lack of mobility is what is going to be his “undoing”. He has a golf cart for around the farm - his brain gets plenty of activity figuring out how to do what he wants to do from his golf cart! Remaining active is one of the keys to a good quality of life in addition to longer life - best wishes to you for both, at 80 & beyond! ~Q
Hubby’s mom was in her ninety’s and though she had a cane to help her periodically, it was mostly carried rather than used, and she could walk circles around me.
She did limit her self to just one garden in her 80s, and then cut back to potted tomato plants etc. around the deck in her last years.
