Her sisters lived to be 101 and 103. Mom would have too except for a fall and broken hip. All remained mentally sharp until the end.

Her kids fared better in the mind she had 9, 1 died at birth
that could have taken just on having them all
Most of them died at ripe old ages themselves

I feel much older when arthritis flares up! It seems like I am on the downside of the flare up now...

You mean they end? Really? When? 10 years and I'm still waiting.....

It doesn't really end in the sense that there is a level of pain and stiffness all the time. Bursitis comes and goes though. Bursitis in my knee is much better this week so it seems like a victory

Mom (who lived to be 97) always said, "Getting old is no sin. Acting old is."

I knew you were going to say that, against all odds!

After they send you to the morgue.....so enjoy the pain. I just keep moving if I am able.
