 Central MN | My uncle quit helping with the cows in his early 80s. Before he hung it up he was walking with a cane basically dragging a pail of milk to feed the calves. He has arthritis really bad from decades of hard work. One day he told me he thought of himself as a gate: if he just sat in the chair he would “ seize up” like a gate that’s never opened. So he felt it was best to keep working so he wouldn’t seize up even though he was in a lot of pain. | |
