getting old stinks

The last year since I have retired I believe I am literally falling apart. Just got home from the doctor. Bp high, blood sugar high. The reason I had gone in today is my ankle is hurting really bad especially if I climb any steps. I live in a two story home. I thought it was bone spurs, I have had that issue before. Now they believe I have torn the Achilles tendon. I haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary so have no clue how this could have happened.
You tore your Achilles because you were mashing the gas pedal too hard. ;)
