Subject: Re: The Healthcare Plan Most People Should Buy
I didn't realize how tough mentally it is for people aging as they see their friends, spouses and other family age, suffer and pass away. It isn't easy for most people.

And the pain. If you're very lucky, you don't have any. But most older people have something that hurts. Sometimes, many somethings. Back, knees, hips. When it stops you from doing stuff, it's easy to get depressed. I expect to be able to "do stuff" for another 10 years. Maybe a bit more. Barring the unforeseen. My back (which had surgery) is slowly becoming more problematic. Also my ankle. 1poorlady has knee issues. We already can't do any major hikes.

1poormom always said "getting old is not for wimps". She was right.
