[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 409212, member: 77"] Well, all you youngsters! What should I say? I am going to be 66 in July. I can't believe it -- 66. I really don't feel old. I'm still working like crazy, and so is my husband (who is 68). He gets a pension from the job he did (computers), but is now active in a hospital, has just received a certificate as a phlebotomist and now takes blood, puts in intravenous things, and works one day a week as a volunteer in the emergency ward, where they are getting used to him and accepting him as one of the staff, and using him (I call him Dracula!). He also volunteers one day a week for the Magen David Adom emergency medical service, driving around in an ambulance, siren going, etc. He loves it. And he works three days a week at the hospital helping them to run a very specific clinic for a specific hereditary disease. It's quite amazing how involved he has become with medical stuff. At home he's always learning medical stuff on his computer. Physically I am beginning to feel my age. Bending down is getting more difficult, and although I still have a lot of stamina, my actual physical strength is not what it was. But all in all -- things could certainly be a lot worse. I know one is expected to grow old gracefully (or is that graciously?). So I will try, but it is beginning to get annoying. Oh well, at least difficult child is now far away. Maybe now my ageing process will slow down!!!! What is this AARP card you are all talking about? And Medicaid card? Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
