Unless they are flogging you and being a royal PITA!

True, but given I'm close on 68 kilos, wearing site boots with steel toecaps and heavy duty overalls and the rooster is probably a bit over 2 kilos and as nature equipped him, I'm not going to get injured. Anyway, I was moving his home. The guy who owns these chickens has got a few interesting scars on his hands from his chickens which he proudly showed us all.

@Shadrach sorry, but it isn't going to get better. I like to say that I can still do all the things I ever could, but it takes a lot longer and hurts a lot more. That isn't all bad.

I'm finding accepting such limitations difficult Mr sourland. I used to be a seriously strong man.

I will not go gracefully. I am fighting the aging process to the very end. Mom used to say, "There is nothing wrong with getting old, but acting old is a sin."

Research supports you on that! Moving in old age is a good thing...as long as you do not fall and break bones

A broken bone at 97 led to Mom's demise.

That has been my experience with family and friends too. I get worried when an elderly person breaks a hip.

Sitting here at the vet clinic with my sick rooster. I thought he wasn't gonna make it through last night, but he was up and hungry this morning. Scary how fast they can go downhill, and drop weight! I posted on the emergency thread yesterday if you want to read it. Wish me luck.

Good luck.

My Grandma Silver died shortly after she broke her hip.

Strangely here on BYC I can't find the appropriate emicon for a response Becca.
