[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, OP. I’m sorry for your health issues and feeling misunderstood.

I understand you may be feeling distant and miss your daughter. I do agree that 4 weeks of visiting time is a lot, but I understand how much you miss her and your fears.

I’m guessing you are part of the generation that had the option of HRT stripped away from you. Bone and cardiovascular issues are big issues for post-menopausal women.

I’m the daughter in this situation - my mom is 78, but completely disabled by a degenerative disease and also has osteoporosis issues. I do wonder if she had been in better shape going into it she would be stronger now, but she was busy caring for us teens, working, and volunteering, as well as caring for her own mother. She only retired when her condition required it, but she took a lot of time to help me when my kids were little. She did as much exercise as she could once diagnosed until she was unable. I hate being far away from her and don’t blame her at all for her condition and I recognize I am the one who moved far from home, and am now caught in the middle of caring for my teens, work and my aging parents.

I would focus on having a positive relationship with your daughter, enjoying the time you do have together, and make your best effort for good physical and mental health. Do you have friends to spend time with?

Best wishes to you. [/quote]
