Don't worry, it really isn't that bad once you cross the energy barrier at the Age Which Shall Not Be Named. I've survived for a year and a half so far, and except for sudden, inexplicable urges to yell at the neighbor children to get off my lawn it isn't bad at all.
As far as warriors of a certain age, if any mujahideen crossed my elderly relatives they'd be eating their dinners off the mantel for weeks-- if they survived. It's all in the attitude.(c.f. Terry Pratchett's Silver Horde ..)
