I have great respect for all of you who have made it over the 35 year mark. I doubt very much that I will make it to 35 years as that would make me 86 years old, but who knows I still have lots of energy and I'm usually in my chair 13-14 hours a day and sometimes more. I usually go to bed just because my caregiver comes about 9:00 PM and leaves about 9:45 PM. I am very grateful to have her so he even though I would like to go to bed about 11:00 PM it is not realistic. My mom lived to 91 after suffering a major stroke when she was 77, so who can tell what will happen. I will be 22 years in October and sometimes it seems to have gone by very quickly and sometimes not so quickly, but each year definitely is going faster. Thank goodness for technology, cannot imagine what it would be like 75 years ago! Joan
