[QUOTE="Williamsv, post: 1248629, member: 22323"] My mother has the sharp mind at 91, but her body is worn out. My sister and I looked after her at home for six years. Then she had to give in and go to assisted living for a year and a half. Now she is in the nursing home. Cannot walk a step. Body retaining fluids, low sodium, congestive heart failure, and breathing problems. Plus skin tears if she is touched I have thought so many times lately what my good doctor friend told me years ago, that quality is better than quantity. Now I know what he meant. We lost him at 64 after battling pancreatic cancer for over six years. My dad died suddenly at 68 on his way to get hay for the cows. I have his same type A personality and am 68 now so with all the stress I have looking after Mama and her business, farm, and cows. Plus my own things. I figure my time is short, but that is okay. Quality is better than quantity. I still believe losing your mind is worse than your body wearing out. My prayers are with you and your wife, Jo. [/QUOTE]
