Ted - you bring up some interesting points.
I'm on another forum besides this one - and many of you I am sure can guess what kind of forum it is. And, if your 1st guess was for Bachelors and meeting women - you'd be wrong. So - yeah - it's about 3D Printing.
Well - there is a chap on there - he was very well known in the beginning when the forum started - his knickname was Wing Commander. He's located down under in Australia. I actually did a Skype call with him a couple years ago. A Very interesting chap indeed.
So - at one point - this project he was working on - for which he used 3D Printing to produce some of the parts - in particular - I remember the pedals he had 3D Printed. His project - a type of bike that's a stand up unit. It's like you are walking or jogging when riding the Bike. Its supposedly less strenuous on the body that jogging. And, although it's not a solution for Ed - the discussion here just reminded me of WC's product design!

Ed:
Sorry to hear your ailments are limiting your activities. I suspect we have a quorum of old guys in the forum who can catalog their glass ankles, rotator cuffs, sleep apnea, fading eyesight, bad knees, diminished hearing, etc. -- and that's just me! A good friend says "Old age is not for the faint of heart."
Inevitable, probably, but certainly working your medical providers to refer you to physical or occupational therapy when available. I've had OTs come up with some good adaptations over the years.
I hope you can find some accommodations that will let you continue to cycle. A number of friends have moved from road bikes to slower-speed trekking and even upright cruisers, "don't go too fast, but they go pretty far." I live near the foothills to the White Mountains, and swear some of my short rides are more vertical than horizontal, but I enjoy getting out and getting some fresh air and rubber-necking.
Also, I don't know if there's anything local, but another friend, a well-known long-distance runner, is enjoying swimming as fitness exercise. Worth considering.
