After an 80 day stay in two hospitals and being on a feeding tube for several months, I thought about all of these things. I decided that I would continue to do what I can as long as I can and then worry about what to do with the "stuff". Now I have macular degeneration and am facing the loss of my eyesight. I got a better (stronger) light to attach to my sewing machine, got an Ott light to use by my easy chair, read on a Kindle, etc. but I'm not giving up yet. When I can't piece the small pieces together I will make aprons or pillowcases. I also cook, but it is getting difficult to read the recipes without a flashlight or the Ott lightl, so I'll print out my favorites on the computer in a larger font. I can't just sit with my hands folded neatly in my lap, I have to have projects of some kind. My theory is never give up!
