Let's Shake Feet
While cleaning up the yard after a long hard winter, I discovered as I am getting older,that instead of bending down to pick something up or move it with my hand, I am now pushing it around with my foot. That's right I am beginning to use my foot instead of my hand. I must be bringing forth some lost skill that had been eroded through evolution. As time goes by I expect that I will be using my feet instead of my hands more and more. I expect in 20 years my hands will probably fall off, with none use. I will start to drive with my feet, wash myself and scratch my head. When meeting someone, I will have to shake their hand with my foot. life will be so much different. The only thing I can figure out is how do you clean yourself after bowel movement. But I am working on that with a couple of yoga classes a week. I should be there in a couple of years. Word to the wise. Till then, if I was you, I would avoid shaking my foot when we meet.

Willie, I feel your pain.
Fortunately you are not the first or only person to show signs of aging. (Yes, the ground is not getting farther away from your hands, nor is your body feeling the effects of a sudden increase in gravity, it's just getting old.)
The fortunate aspect is that a system has been created to look out for you. Elder care abounds, even in Maine. And this includes Attorneys Specializing in Law Supporting People with Disabilities.
Don’t take this lying down.
Fight this like an American.

Thanks Jack, I knew I could blame someone else for this condition.
Please don't sue the Y or your spin teachers...
You know, those single leg/foot exercises from spin class will be helpful in your quest, too...
Ugh. I can see that day coming for me too. Every time I stand up from a kneeling position, my knee pops, and it gets harder and harder to touch the toes. Someday (hopefully) I'll get around to yoga. Time for a course correction.
So we have to wait another 20 years before you finally start washing yourself?
I'm working as fast as I can. Do you know how hard it is to hold a bar of soap in your foot.
