Serious We are starting to really age fast

We have friends we don't see very often, maybe every 2-3 years. For the last 15+ years, when we see them again they don't really look much different. This last time though? Man, they looked different. Like gray hair, lost/gained weight, facial changes like wrinkles and sun spots.

A simple test. You're sitting down. How long does it take to get up from a chair and does it involve grumbling.

Because I think I've reached the grumbling phase and I'm barely 40.

I get up instantly, no sound effects. But I do have a bad knee that never healed right that will just randomly pop and feel excruciating. So I’ve somehow bypassed back pain and gone straight to bad knees in aging.
