I am 73, 74 in June , I also feel like I am in good health, work full time and have the normal aches and pains. I sometimes think about the finite number of years I have left, that I’m in my winter season now. But my saving grace , I work in a hospital as an RN a profession I have felt privileged to be a part of for the last 33 years. I just
Look around everyday at the bigger things my patients are having to deal with, the day to day struggles they are having and I realize I have no room for self pity. I am healthy relatively and most of the time , I am upright and still moving I feel
Blessed everyday.

I am so impressed that you are working full-time as an RN and you are in your 70’s! Amazing!

I am 59 and pace myself, so that I can continue working full-time until I turn 65. I beat AML 7 years ago, but live with some of the side effects of my stem cell transplant. I am blessed to be able to work in higher ed, where work challenges are more mental than physical. So far, my mind is keeping up with what I need to do for my students.
