60 here, and listed as disabled. I had cancer in 2012, during that surgery the oncologist said he had to take out that part of me that makes blood return from the legs. He said that a normal person's blood goes from the heart to the big toe in about 5 seconds or less. Now, mine takes about 30-45 seconds. Which causes my legs/feet to swell, and causes them to be discolored. He said it was a price to pay for having survived such a deadly cancer. Adding that to the mix of severe arthritis, and 2 knees that are a mess - yeah, sometimes the whole "exercise" thing is frustrating and discouraging. I do what I can, but not enough yet. Working towards that determination. Looking forward to meeting y'all and helping one another on this journey!

Could you possibly go swimming? It's easy on the joints and can be a great full body exercise.0
