Time passing way too fast

I'm 73 now and I feel like my health has changed drastically for the worst since I turned 70. My latest setback was a recent diagnosis of PMR which has really affected my life. I have a few things that keep me motivated though. My mom lived to 101 and if not for a serious injury to her hip from a fall and the subsequent stroke, she may have lived longer...I'm married to someone 25 years younger than me and we have a 6 year old daughter... and I have a good healthcare team.

@kjoed53, wow, I’m inspired by your post. I’m considering a similar situation with a perspective mate. I’m 65 and hesitant, but I feel pretty healthy, am active and actually live younger than I did 15 years ago (Have some issues, but manage ok with active lifestyle and good nutrition.). I try to focus on reality and not what others may consider.

@kjoed53 If I was 73 and had a six year old daughter I would have a stroke. I know how kid raising goes: never according to plan. lol

Am very sorry to hear about your health setback, but my first thought when I read your post was: "No wonder your health is suffering! A six year old at age 73?" Wow.
