..and wonder how on earth I'll match up?
I have relatives with various chronic conditions eg painful arthritis, recurring lung problems, hearing/sight prolems, onerous caring responsibilities and just, well, old age.
They complain, sure, but they don't give up. I'm only in my 50s and pretty healthy according to the Ubble thingy, but already odd bits malfunctioning are getting me down. Yet these relatives contend with 10 times more, sometimes just to get up and dressed.
So pretty sure I am not BU but really just wanting to share my respect, and hope I can manage the same - from current position, I can't quite see how I wouldn't throw in the towel if my hips/heart/ eyes etc got that bad!
How do you do it, elders ??
