@pb50 Have you been diagnosed with a certain kind of dementia that you will probably get? If not, there’s a chance you won’t get any worse. OR even with a diagnosis, it could take years to get worse. I imagine moving was a huge ordeal, but if you’re not happy? Maybe move to a place closer to friends but where you don’t have as much responsibility for upkeep.

@susanejw
Thanks. And sadly yes, i have a
profound family history as well as the blood markers of Alzheimer’s. And I have an MCI diagnosis on the bass of testing.

I really don't have a lot of upkeep Pressure. And i do have a very nice handyman. And info to my Son & DIL’s for dinner at least weekly. So i am not someone you should feel sorry for. I just miss gossiping with girlfriends and swapping books and salad Sundays (something we used to do).

In my former condo it was very easy to meet people. That is what I meant by organic. And this rural setting does not provide that ease of access to people.

I think I am going to try volunteering someplace like a library.
