Staying fit at any age.

My advice: Don't end up with two rounds of broken ribs---on the same side--one right after the other. "Just sitting around" trying to heal up had taken A LOT out of me--at 73-- and my shoulders will never heal.
I will agree with broken bones and sitting.
I broke my right shoulder in four places 5 years ago.
Broke the left ankle tri something they called it. plus leg bone that came thru.
2 years plus. . Have more plates and screws then the tin man.
I know it's hard but you just have to push thru it. Baby steps. Good luck.
