Having had a liver transplant 18 years ago, I renewed my feeling that “Now is the only time there is” and you’d better enjoy whatever you are doing and the people you are doing things with. I just had a terrible fracture, requiring surgery and rehab and it was wonderful how friends and family rallied round to help me and my husband. I am fortunate in having Kaiser Permanente medical insurance which has provided complete coordinated care for over 25 years.
We all face loses, of friends, family and our own abilities, but rather than focus on these, I feel you can acknowledge them and continue to enjoy whatever activities that you enjoy.

We’re sorry to hear about your fracture and hope you are feeling better by now. We know that with your ElderChick spirit, you will speed your recovery by working hard at your rehab and focus on all the positive things in your life. Good luck!!
A great attitude! My three sisters and I, all in our 70s, focus on finding some “joy” in every day. It helps to balance out the losses. I’ve had a hip fracture with surgery, etc, and I wish you the best in your recovery.
Thanks for all your encouragement. I am starting to go out to restaurants, theater and concerts again. I do move slowly.
