[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not at 50, the many changes came at 45 already. My body started to ache, eyesight got bad, and the feeling that I don't want to work ever again. [/quote] Were you burned out? Did you decide to take an easier job? [/quote] The physically hard work was from age 18-30. It was extremely hard. Some of us ended up in ER right from work, and we all knew it was because of working conditions. From 30-45 I raised kids and worked ca 30 hours only. I invested some of the money which means I don't really have to work anymore at 45. I need to work on my physical health right and strength. I never thought I'd lose my strength and willingness to work after doing -hour shifts without a break like it was a nothing. I think the suddenness of it all caught me off-guard. Eyesight got bad within 2 months. It's just reading glasses, but having 20/20 vision my whole life, I'm now bumping into things and not noticing anyone behind me as fast and clearly as I used to. I see people considering new career and I'm thinking about retiring and what to do with my time.[/quote] Has your optometrist checked you for cataracts? I experienced a similar rapid decline and had cataracts develop in both eyes in a 6 month period. Got the Vivity lenses and my eyesight is better than normal![/quote]
