Your experience on a ketch has nothing to do with your attitude. You have
no idea what my wife's situation is, yet you offer advice, contrary to the
medical experts. It is a hereditary condition, not changed by living on
boats. It is not a use it or lose it situation. Please, stop making a fool
of yourself telling me how she should live her life.

As I said, get back to me in ten years. You may be surprised at the changes
your body can go through no matter how fit you are today.
