I never thought "retirement" would become a challenge ...

On one hand I love being able to choose what I want to do for the day. On the other hand I don't have the desire or initiative to pursue what I think I should be doing. Sometimes the conundrum can be a bit frustrating, in wanting to do something but not having the initiative to get it done! My get up and go got up and went.

Safe travels and all the best.

A little perspective on Alzheimer's. My 2nd best friend died from it a year ago. His wife said his Alzheimer's was a blessing in the end. He didn't have any "good" days during his last few months. The "good" days were nice for his family but not for him. He knew what was happening and was very cranky and depressed not only about himself but what would happen to his family. But when the "good" days were over the rest of his days were happy and peaceful.

I have survived 77 years on this rock and still ride a bicycle at lest 5 miles a day!
A while back I did switch from a 10 speed to electric, but what the heck.

My mom is going through the same struggle. She's 93 and once her progressive Alzheimer's made it impossible to live with my sister we had to place her in an assisted living home about an hour away (we couldn't find caregivers willing to come out to my sister's rural home). She's now bedridden and after a couple of emergency hospitalizations last month we made the painful decision to bring in end of life hospice care and let them administer whatever happy drugs they thought were appropriate. We still visit her weekly and it's heartbreaking to watch her decline.

MY prayer is not to put my family through that!

My wife said Delaware legalized assisted suicide so we won’t have to worry about who might be tasked with taking care of us if it comes to that.
