I'm 82 and live alone on 22 beautiful acres in coastal California. I've had breast cancer and recently a bad hip, but both are under control.
Its hard work for me pulling weeds in the front yard, but it give me exercise. I'm going to stay here as long a I can. It is too wonderful here to move until my health gets really bad. My son stays with me several days a week, working around the house and my daughter brings me groceries. I can't drive due to peripheral neuropathy caused from chemo,. My health insurance takes me on rides to my medical appointments.
I block off half the house when I have the heat on, I was recently stuck in an airport overnight when I missed a connecting flight and I felt proud that I made it sitting in a chair for 8 hours!
