The problems that this guy is “suffering” from sound mostly age related. I can sympathize because all the same crap has been happening to me. It is hell getting old, but going to the doctor doesn’t generally do much to stop the ravages of time. If he actually does work in the fields much of the time... he is probably healthier than the typical fat middle aged inactive California liberal.
