Sleep Issues

I have a new malady, at least it's new to me. I sleep almost constantly. This started just a few days. I also sleep all night. Nothing, I mean zero gets done around here because I have no energy to do anything. Well, I was able to empty and refill the dishwasher today. That was a big accomplishment!!! My back hurts when I stand up and my hips hurt when I walk.
I am doing the leg exercises from the bed or a chair. I think it's helping a little.

This is the only subject matter I have. Merle Haggard once said in an interview that being lonely is one of the worst things that can happen to anyone. He also said anyone 90 years old doesn't know anyone older than him/her. He is right, I am 90 and I don't know anyone older than me.
When Chris and I  were eating out the other day and she ran into a friend that was dining with an old lady that was old like me so we struck up a conversation and she was 94. When old people get together we like to boast about our age to each other. You know, the way 5-year old's do.  Is that where the second childhood came from? 
Why do they say to grow old is a blessing? When does the blessing set in? It would be much better if good health could hold out. 
I just heard on the news that the Robot calls are nearly always scams and hopefully they will find a way to stop them. I hope they can enforce a law to put them in jail. I just assume if they call me it is probably a scam. I never do any business over the phone unless  I instigate the call or know the person calling. A ringing phone is the most irritating thing to wake up to. You don't like to unplug the phones in case of an emergency.
