When I last visited my endocrinologist, I discovered that the
facility had installed, in all the examination rooms, *chairs*
that weighed the patient (discounting the weight of the chair
itself). And I was delighted to be told that I'd lost ten
pounds. Until the doctor said, "That's lost muscle mass."
Alas; I am getting old.

That sucks. And we are all getting older also.
My 80 year old mother is in rehab right now with her second new hip,
trying to learn how to walk again after being in a wheelchair for three >years. She has no muscle left in her legs and the transition is tough,
very tough. But she is determined to walk again, it will just take a
while, we hope. My 83 year old Dad has been picking her up, it is
killing his back as he has lost a lot of muscle mass too.

Please tell them Hal and I sympathize. He has to pick me up and
plop me onto a small wheeled office chair (because there's not
enough space between the bed and the bookcase for the real
wheelchair) and drag it into the bathroom every time I need to
go. I'm only (!) 79 and he won't hit 73 till spring; but it's
still an effort.

I have noted in my family that the 80s seems to be a tough time for
people. Three of my grandparents passed in their 80s, the one who
passed at 64 would have disqualified me for the Howard families
(Methuselah's Children).

One of my great aunts (she was born in Belgium in Duksmuter, died in
Texas) lived to be 99.
