I'll be 75 in a couple months. You have NO idea how true that is. Big problem is arthritis in my hands. No grip strength at all.

Old sucks !!!!

I don't get frustrated at people not being able to do what they used to do, but I DO get frustrated at people not being able to do what I KNOW that they CAN do. Particularly, my son.
You are NOT stuck in your SHIRT! You do NOT need help getting out of it. I know stalling at bedtime when I see it!
He's almost 9 by the way.

Yup, I am 82 and counting so I very well know of what I speak. I have a portable sawmilling business and daily handle lumber and slabs. This activity stretches my knuckles and I can no longer make a fist.

The customer provides help which is difficult and sometimes impossible to find so I find myself overextending myself:

The customer and I sawed these in 14 hours last week with no additional help.

Only three more to go and finished. Yes, this old man works.

A few years older than you...still have plenty of grip strength. But I've developed what the Doc calls "trigger finger"...sometimes when I bend my fingers too far they stay there, locked in place until I reach over with my other hand and straighten them back out again.

That too, back when I could bend my fingers that far. Index finger on both hands. What really sucks is that virtually ALL of my hobbies/pastimes involve working with my hands. Model building at 1:64 when your hands don't work is something of a challenge.

I remember an age where the three main topics of conversation were cars, sports, and girls. Some years later it was wives, kids, and work. I'm now at the age where it's aches, pains, and procedures.

And don't forget medications
