[quote=Anonymous]My 79 yr old mom is walking more and more like a 90 yr old imo. She shuffles really slowly and can’t get up from a low seat. I told her she needs to start using a walker but she is mortified at the thought. We go shopping together and walking thru the stores is in slow motion. She has never exercised a day in her life and has lived a very sedentary life, only 15 lbs overweight and doesn’t have any medical issues that I know of. Fyi she refuses to go to doctors. I just see such a rapid decrease in her mobility I can see her in a wheelchair very soon. I’m almost 60 and climb ladders, move furniture, run stairs and have exercised my whole life. My DH says that’s the norm for a 79 yr old and to let it go. [/quote]
