[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still trying to figure out [b]how you can be old for your age when you're in your early 80s. [/b]My father lived until 90, so I'm familiar with the age group.[/quote] My mother died last year at 83 after living with dementia for about six years. For the last three years of her life she was mostly in a wheelchair, very confused, very physically and mentally compromised. She was very shrunken in size. DH's mother is exactly the same age - just turned 84yo. She does yoga a few times a week, plays bridge, drives everywhere, volunteers at a hospital. The contrast between the two women was astonishing to me. My mother was old for her 83 years. DH's mother is young for her 84 years (the age my mother would be now had she not died).[/quote]
