At one time I could have. I use to bike everywhere, swim every day (I biked to the lake to go swimming and worked out like a dog. Now, I'm but a distant shell. My occupational therapist and physical thereapist claim I have great upper body strength but I protested that wild eyed claim. I use to love to fish and hunt in difficult terrain but alas that was when I had kidney function. You are too kind even when you joke about any fantasized physical prowess I may yet have.
Thats impressive you always worked out! I was a runner for years and along wit bad genes it messed up my knees. Are you able to sit in a chair/couch and move your legs in a peddle motion? I used this when I was recovering from my knee replacements. My friend who has vascular dementia bough one and he loves it as he can peddle and watch a movie or while visiting with friends.
There's a serious problem with my muscular stamina. When I come home from dialysis, all I want to do is lay down, have a honey laced cup of tea, and later, take a nap. I'm wiped out for the day. When I use the toilet, take a shower, brush my teeth and get dressed I'm totally wiped out and I even sit down in the shower and when brushing my teeth. My wife has to help me dress. My occupational therapist has given me some exercises that involve a band for most of them and some material much like silly putty for my hands and forearms. I've also been encouraged to use my whell chair as much as possible. Rolling myself along our hardwood floors is easy but rolling over the carpeted areas is very tough.
Your fortitude and perseverance has created your great character of person! I appreciate your kindness and toughness!
