So... my rheumatologist tells me "Congrats! Your swollen, achy joints are thanks to your Viking ancestry! - oh, and welcome to your 60's."

Question: how I can keep doing intense gardening, forestry, painting, felting, writing up into my 90's without being crippled by arthritis?

Answer: Keep doing intense gardening, forestry, painting, felting writing up into your 90's!

I raise my arms and celebrate the beauty, serenity, wisdom, simple joy-of-living, oh and pain, of aging!
