Aging Well?

The statement aging well is a personal thing. The doctor May impart his opinion or his knowledge to your aging well but the decision to do it well is yours if I want to lay in bed all day and read I don't care what goes on around me I just want to lay in bed and read and rest so I do in 1999 I felt out of the motor home and damaged my back after five back surgeries I am still unable to walk without a device I walk with a walker I ride on a scooter I have been to physical therapy 10 times the last time I went the guy tried to get me to stand without holding on to my Walker and I flipped into a seizure physical therapy is not for me anymore so I do my physical therapy exercises lying on my bed same muscles same exercise just a more comfortable place I eat good my husband's incredible cook I soak in my hot tub if I'm hurting I love my friends my home my church my pastors and I focus mostly on those things the pain and the trauma that I have experienced has been put in a box with a lock on it I cannot afford to age well with a broken heart and so I would just say to all of you sit down and Define your own aging well plan and do it it doesn't matter if the doctor approves of it it doesn't matter if the doctor thinks it's a great idea it's your life you're the one that's aging and you're the one who needs to make the decisions what kind of life you want to have I do not want to have a life strap to a doctor for every breath that I take I do not want to have to drive an hour every day back and forth to the doctor I want to stay at home with my beautiful home and hang out with my dog and my husband and my friends and count each day as a blessing I am grateful for so many things but mostly I am grateful that my hair has not turned white so on that note I think that aging well is a project it's about you and you get to Define it take good care of yourself
