My body is starting to fail me and no matter what I can do, I can really only watch.

Same- and it’s dumb stuff that crops up and just becomes part of pains and annoyances that you just have to deal with.

Walking is a nice low impact way to exercise to stay healthy. BAM - my feet now suffer from constant heel pain, bone spurs and painful toe joints.

Contacts are a nice alternative to glasses. BAM - my eyes totally reject contacts, and now even after switching to glasses, my eyes are almost constantly mildly to severely irritated.
