Hi native Sonoma County. I am a Marin County gal. I was born and raised in San Francisco but moved here 55 years ago. I am 82 years and my husband is 78 and still runs his own commercial real estate company. I could have seen me moving somewhere else but my husband wants to work until he can't anymore. Also I would have done some volunteer work but I have primary immuno deficiency so can't do schools because kids always have sickness and can't volunteer in a hospital for the same reason. I'm still active and walk one to two miles a day. What's getting to me is my osteoarthritis. Fingers, toes, cervical. But I'm hanging in there.

You seem to enjoy working in the helping processes. That's wonderful. You have a tender spirit and could probably offer kind words and much encouragement to others here at this forum ... in the safety of your own home. I haven't been a member here for very long. But one thing I have noticed everytime I login is the healing words of others that have touched my heart. The stories offer so much encouragement to me (and others). I hope you find help with your osteoarthritis. Have you tried R-Lipoic Acid (specialized) and 5% Lidocaine transdermal patches? I've only been on these products a short time, but I am experiencing some improvement with walking. I look forward to walking 1-2 miles like you. Have an excellent day. Best, CB

Glad you are getting out and walking! We do what we can with what we have
I am in Marin now, also. Didn’t move far from the nest 45 years ago
