[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who has had to deal with chronic illness since college, there are definitely people out there who are healthy who don't understand. It is ridiculous to tell a 77 year old that she just needs to exercise and eat well and her health will be fine. That's not how life works. Our bodies start to break down, especially in our late seventies.

OP, do start trying to go for walks, if you have safe sidewalks where you live. Just ten minutes a day and then slowly increase to thirty. It will make you feel better.

Sounds like you and your daughter see each other a lot by modern standards, sadly. [/quote]

No. Osteoporosis can be managed very successfully. My whole family has osteoporosis and part of the treatment, in addition to medication, IS EXERCISE. OP's daughter is entirely correct, even though she hasn't gone into details. And yes, a good diet can prolong life - my father recently had to switch his and it's making a difference.

It's normal to slow down with age. It doesn't mean OP is dying. There are so many things she could be doing that she doesn't want to do, but she shouldn't complain when her daughter, who comes to see her often, is telling her certain truths.

I'm sorry, but OP is a big whiner.
