[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you could be dead of cancer by 65.
Just keep trying to stay mobile and hope for the best. There are literally no guarantees. [/quote]

It is absolutely mind-blowing to me how many people here expect to be in control of their health outcomes in late life.[/quote]

Yes. MS, ALS, cancers, other autoimmune diseases, accidents, etc can disrupt the best laid plans to live to 95.[/quote]

Well, yes, and actually I hope to die around 80 of something sudden because these extended illnesses terrify me. Strong history of cancer in my family among exceedingly healthy youngish people.
 But... I have also directly seen how family members with this attitude tend to have issues because they disregard medical advice that requires any effort. Hip replacement, knee replacement, bare minimum PT post-op and drop it immediately... then walking with a limp forever and acting like that's the norm after a hip replacement. PT is so crucial when these types of things pop up, and that's just one example. [/quote]
