5. I'm with you, Varda Yoran...

I'm senior now myself for many years; yes, a little slower in pace and name recall.
Still living in my own home, driving locally as needed, do my own laundry, finances, easy food prep, etc.
But I've found myself a mission in life still to be attended to...

My daughter, now in late 50's, has chronic medical problems, due to diabetes, stroke and other complications, as well as psychological needs.
She lives in a long-term care facility, and, as any and all know, family involvement is necessary to insure that her care is appropriate and timely.

So, I too am not ready to pack it in.
Some days are easier than others, some are a struggle.
But, like you. Varda, I'm still in the game, and - not disposable.
