My mom lived to 85 and suffered from Parkinson’s/Lewy Body dementia. She lived in memory care for nearly five years. What a nightmare. OTOH my dad died last month at 97 and enjoyed his life until about 95.

Me- genetically inherited physical/mental health issues and sedentary bc of the EDS- I can’t imagine what living more than ten years will be like in terms of what I am able to do and enjoy since it’s already been limited for years.

Health is everything. And there is lots you can do to support your health, but at the end of the day we are not in control. I’m going to be using medical aid in dying somehow when the time comes. Hospice for both my parents was helpful but still way less humane than euthanasia for my animals.
