Getting older is not for Wimps! I think most of the medical professionals are not particularly interested in caring for the elderly. Do not know when age became a criteria for receiving good medical care. Most physicians dont like the complex medical cases because then they have to work and do alot of research in order to treat. There may be little hope if you come across a physician who has specialized in geriatric medicine but those are few and far between.

@kndaustin71 I LOVE your first sentence...I also have wondered about its close-kin: GROWING old is so often seem getting wasted on the old.

As old fold we ought to know what is a 'good life.'
And that is a life that is 'good' despite the infirmities of good life.

I am working eaxh day on this ...as my 82nd year winks at me!
Wish you luck, wish me luck.
