[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't worry. 90 years is a long run. If you're 90, you're probably not really enjoying life, not physically comfortable, always worrying about things - from pissing your pants, to your teeth falling out in public, to dropping the newborn someone hands you, to waking up from a nap and not recognizing anyone around you, etc. Plus, if you're 90+, the majority of your friends have died, your spouse has probably died or is about to, you're just trying to avoid breaking a hip. What kind of a life is that?[/quote] My 92 year old grandmother still drives, lives alone, cooks, does her own shopping, does some of her own gardening, has all her teeth, and has plenty of friends. What you wrote isn't true. [/quote] That's great for your granny. But one slip and fall and she'll break a hip and wind up in rehab for weeks, and won't be able to do all those things (except keep her teeth and friends). [/quote]
