New here :)

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! :smiley:

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