Grandfather is 81. Was playing golf 2 days a week before he broke his ankle while hunting. Took about 6 months to recover and never got back into it. Went downhill fast( injury around was around 78). His older brother is 84, still rides bikes, works out, and he used to be a pharmacist. Volunteers at charity pharmacy one weekend a month. Still sharp and can go about doing what he wants still.

The term use it or lose it applies to life
