WE are two old couples me 66 and my husband 67 yrs. old. He's legs are not good in walking he had 2 knee replacements.so we end up in the lounge room almost all day watching movies and tv. sometimes we go out for shooping. sunday's and thurday's we go to chruch.That's life for him.. me I do all housework,minding all pets,we have dogs,cats,birds,rat's and do gardening. while watching tv I'm posting in my lot or answering discussion and that's life for me.Can't even do walking,just walk when i shop..

I don't think it's healthy for you guys to watch so much tv! I know it often becomes the staple of entertainment, particularly as people get older, but in many ways it's like drinking soda, sure, it's tasty, but it offers no nutritional value, and you rarely feel satisfied by it. I would say it's important for you two to do more things together than encourages interaction with one another and your environment. It's natural for the body to deteriorate as we get older, but the saying "use it or lose it" is very true. It sounds like you guys may be vegging out, especially your husband! Try finding new things to do that keep both mind and body active. :)
