Only a little younger Mike... In 50 years 4 years is negligible
To be honest, three years ago I was like you. In fact practically and to all intents and purposes disabled... A length of the pool nearly killed me and walking was about as far as you could... That bad...
Slowly and by training every day and by carefully progressing it I have reached the point like yesterday where I cycled 30 miles and today swam 1800m (50 lengths of our pool) and then cycled 10 miles in the rain...
You can do it Mike!
