@galevin Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I broke my hip and had a hip replacement. I have found this discussion so interesting - I seem to be the only one interested in geratric care amongst my friends, which is why I'm checking with my doctors, who, btw, I admire. No specific major problem, but I find myself, for example, on three different restrictive diets from three different doctors, which is almost unmanageable. Or, my surgeon put me on a "temporary" aspirin regime - not good long term, but nobody told me to stop, so I finally went back to the AP, who told me aspirin are now considered dangerous. Multiply these kind of things and it's burdensome in that I'm my husband's caretaker. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.
