Questions on daily aches and care for my romance book

Hello Ladies! Aspiring author here. I’m writing a romance novel with a female protagonist in her 60’s-70s (poor farmer widow from 1700’s) and a handsome immortal husband.

I’d like this to feel realistic in her experience of daily life - for example, what daily aches and pains do you experience when you wake up?

If you have a medical condition, what do you need to do daily to ease any discomfort that goes with it?

Or, what tricks have you learned to ease the mild daily hassles of an aging body?

Or what surprised you about your experience with your body as you’ve aged?

Additionally, what are the things someone else does that makes your life easier?

Thanks! 💕💕
