I’m 70.

Never felt my age until I fell earlier in May this year and fractured a vertebrae that collapsed on me over the summer. I had a two day surgery the end of September and was so weak after it I thought the surgeon had severed my spinal cord bc I couldn’t even move my feet when I woke up. He didn’t severe my cord but I’m two months out and still have a ways to go to get back my strength and agility. And still have to take meds due to nerve pain.

I suppose even some younger folks would be struggling with issues after back surgery as I had. But it is a lot harder to recover if you’re as old as 70.
