My body once supple
Now changed to brittle
Bending is now difficult
Or walking, getting up

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  11. Very relatable!! On our walk this morning we met a gent who had surgery and pins in his back… No more golfing for him he said. Just old bones that need support. I haven’t gotten there yet. But I do take meds to strengthen my ‘old’ bones!! 🙂
