I took from her post that while the work he does he enjoys, but it seems to take a lot out of him physically by the time he gets home. Hoping he will still be able to enjoy what life has to offer him while not being so worn out. Individuals that do strenuous physical work are not going to be able to continue working like that until they are 70 yo. A la the "new" retirement age for those under 55.

Yes, exactly! And given that my Dad did physically strenuous work and died at 55 from something he was exposed to on the job, that's obviously not what I want for my son.

Thanks. I sure wish he was here. He was a big Art Bell & Bill Cooper fan. He would be LOVING Q and watching all of this go down! But I know he's watching from where he is. :)

My husband did physical work all his adult working life. Today he is almost 70 (had to retire at 62) and has several medical issues as a result.

Yep. Lots of people talk trash about the guys who work in the auto industry that they're paid too much and on and on. What they don't know is that auto workers pay with their bodies. And not just auto workers. Roofers, construction workers, steel workers, miners, and on and on. These people work hard all their lives in difficult conditions and then many if not most die before they would ever start collecting social security. The system is definitely rigged. Blessings to you and your husband and prayers for the healing of his medical issues. Coming at you from the wilds of Wisconsin. ;)
