Thank God for family. I'm 77 and have some health problems and my DD and SIL moved me in with them December of 2009. Since then I have had to have hip replacement and I have Congestive Heart Failure and also have to be on oxygen 24/7. I can do some things (very slowly) and I do cook dinner about 4 nights a week to help out. But I can no longer live alone and I'm so very lucky to have such a wonderful Daughter and a super special Son in law. I can do a lot sitting down. Have even learned to lower the ironing board so I can sit and iron. Still do my quilting but Daughter and Granddaughter help when it comes time to lay out the top and make the sandwich. If I ever got down on the floor, I'd never be able to get up again...LOL. I guess the most precious thing we can have is a loving and caring family.
