    And a bit of genetic luck also helps. I’m a flabby 40, but I don’t have backpain, two working knees and I’m flexible like a bendy straw. I’m more flexible than the skinny 20 year old intern at work.

    On the other hand my hair started turning grey when I was 12, so you win some, you lose some.

      My only physical problem at the moment (that I know…) is that between myopia and presbyopia my clear vision field spans maybe from 30 to 40 cm from my eyes. This sucks big times. Other than that, no backpain or the likes.

        Well, you’re doing better than me :D congenital cataracts means I don’t have my natural lenses. I can see about 20 percent with contacts or glasses.

        Still, I can ride a bike, I do watch repairs, and photography is a hobby. I like to challenge myself to do stuff that even normal sighted people wouldn’t do, like watch repairs with its teeny tiny screws. It’s only a disability if you let it be one.
