Hello Senior Lady, I had no idea that ‘elderly’ was now a pejorative term. I certainly don’t fancy it. And glad to read that your hair is back and your pain levels are down It might be expected that your hairdresser knew about hair loss, but strange (and somewhat disheartening) that an anesthesiologist did not. On the other hand, it’s the patients who end up learning how to wean off a vast variety of drugs and most doctors and pharmacists don’t seem to.

Hi! Yes, I agree. I don’t think anyone can give completely effective advice until they have walked the walk. I was extremely blessed to have been very healthy and strong until I was 80, and then it all hit the fan. I am lucky to have long term care insurance, so while I am paying something out of pocket, the insurance is covering a lot. I am going to keep help as long as it is practical, and until I can manage my husband’s care myself. I am hanging in, though, and it sounds like you are, too! Bette
