That’s very pragmatic, but on the other side, I turned 65 had a very successful career I was looking forward to a very successful and relaxing retirement will not sound resentful. This is not what the fuck I expected. Yes, I am learning to live with it, but I still can’t put 100% positive twist on it. I did only fooling myself because I am aware of my future, and not the peace and harmony I expected I guess today’s one of those bad days for me

Good morning, @andyjustin. On reflection, I can see how I may have had a bit of a leg up when it came to retirement, transitioning from one time of life to the next. Mine was never a career that offered a formal retirement; instead, in my line of work, practitioners most often continued working for as long as they felt up to it (until, as we'd sometimes would tease one another, we fell over on the commissary line 🙂 ). I'm fortunate in that–even with the considerable adjustments I've had to make for my PN–I'm able to continue working, even at 79 and in several unavoidably modified ways. (For what it's worth, I, too, have my bad days, They occurred more frequently in the months following my diagnosis; luckily, they're fewer now–fewer, but I still have them.) –Ray (@ray666)
