A discussion for people over 60: Let's focus on what we can do

I am well over 60. I was still working at 60. I am now 88 and basically I can do almost everything. But life is not all roses and champagne. My husband and I had 59 years of marriage and then he died. So did my right hip and I had to have it replaced - alone. Now my hip is healing but my heart is not. Still, I have my brain and I can drive. I live independently. I have a very nice lady who comes in once a month to clean. So far I don't seem to have any other ailments and so I go on.

So, to "thisismarilynnb" Seriously, I had to double check to see if I wrote this. I am the same age, worked until 65, was married almost as long. I now live alone, am very independent, can drive, shop, and have a cleaning lady who comes once a month ( she is here now). My thing is four back injection (about) every four months.( Failed foot surgery started that whole thing!) Now, I am stuck with Peripheral Neuropathy which is progressive. Reading these posts lets me know it could be a lot worse in the PN arena. Just thought it was interesting to see how much we have in common...so what do you do for fun?
