Alright I'm coming to terms or coming to age (take your pick) with seeing how I really am now. Physically I am old and feeble and doddering on the edge. As in analogy not in actual fact. But has anyone else here given this concept any thought? After surviving stroke, no matter what age we are, physically we just got launched into old age whether we were ready or not. So I am now trying to shift my life around to accomadate that fact. It is behind my decision in housing for the future, mass transportation, pharmacy locations and all those things one of advanced age must take into consideration.

So, ok this is a natural course of events post stroke some may say.... But I am struggling with the idea as I look at myself as young ( at 42) I'm not ready for a nursing home yet, will not participate in Bingo, macaroni art or macrame. but in all honesty, housing is important and I'd rather have my chance to make my informed choice now and not have it made for me. Does anyone here live in a senior community? Not assisted living, I don't need that. But it is something I have to look into, as my body betrayed me by aging faster then I wanted.
