I think you are right! At the age of 86, I think I will continue taking the .5 mg pill of Clonazapam before bedtime together with 200 mg of Gabapentin because it helps me to sleep for about 7 to 8 hours each night and I need that sleep. Even though I am quite old, I still have a lot of energy, I still clean
and decorate my 2 bedroom townhouse, cook my own meals , attend weekly Bible Study at the Club House, attend Sunday Mass, play my favorite game of Scrabble at the Club house,continue to visit my 62 year old developmentally disabled daughter every Tuesday and last Thanksgiving I flew down to Bell Buckle Tenn, all by myself (with my Rollator) and I continue to keep busy (with the help of God) and live a rather happy life. My only regret is that I am no longer able to drive due to my right leg still being too weak but with the help of friends and a local cab company, I still get around. And so, my suffering friends, it is all about attitude. Try to be thankful for what you can do and not dwell on what you cannot do and try to live as busy and happy a life as possible. Don’t be bitter,,,…. ………..
be better.

O yvie!
First, my sense is for you to continue taking the .5 mg. of Clonazapam and don't worry about.
Pay no attention to noises or music you hear. The brain is a "funny" thing...memories are possibly being "remembered" again.
Second, wonderful for you at 86 years young you are so active and engaged in life!
Listing all you do, perhaps not really necessary, but I give you a pass there. I'm sure it was fun to write it all down 🙂
But I am with smegant here. To "assume" she is bitter is not really right nor helpful to her.
What is that saying?? Don't judge another until you have walked a mile in their shoes.
I am glad you did say you were sorry to her. And hope you will understand...everyone has different blessings in life. Some have many, some not much and some, sadly, not at all.
I believe you understand. Continued good blessings!

I am so pleased for you, that you can do all kinds of wonderful things and enjoy your life. Unfortunately, I am not so lucky, and I am not bitter. You don’t even know me. I have been left with conditions for which they can do nothing about. I have been housebound for 25 years, and I can’t do anything now. I don’t have the luxury of having a life. I will be having MAiD sometime within the next couple of years, so that’s what I have to look forward to, but I don’t whine and complain to anyone. It is what it is. I’m glad you have a happy life. I won’t bother you with the details of my miserable existence.
