Grammar
Adjectives after nouns
Hello,
I am writing a personal statement have a question on this sentence:
"His knees had become more fragile, work days shorter, and happy hours longer, but his spirit was as strong as ever."
What do you guys think? Can the "had become" distribute to the work days and happy hours?
Thanks in advance!

The sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn't seem to make sense. If his knees are bothering him, then the sentence should apparently be: "He knees had become more fragile, [thus with bad knees his] work days [now seemed] longer, and [any] happy hours [of his now seemed] shorter, but [in spite of all this] his spirit was as strong as ever."

It is recommended that one should have only a limited time in the bars after work and before dinner in order to have mutual happy hours after dinner in return.
