Several years ago, I fell down the stairs in my apartment building. The stairs were in an awful state of disrepair. My doctor recommended physical therapy. My doctor still recommends physical training for several reasons. 1. I'm a fall risk and exercise helps with balance. 2. I'm trying to lose weight. I sat in a hospital for months with my ex husband, now deceased, when he had cancer. I gained way too many pounds from not exercising.
My mom had dementia. She was one of the most healthy, active people I have ever known. She could do the nyt crossword in ink. No one else in my family has ever had dementia or alzheimers.
I could debunk more and more, but I'm doing this on my phone and that sucks. Because of my fall, I can't do some of the things I used to. But I can find chair exercises on YouTube that I am capable of doing.
I have been married (and divorced) 4 times, so I'm not in any hurry to get in another relationship, but I do miss the companionship. Not much else. But mostly, I enjoy being alone and doing what I want to do. It's liberating.
My daughters were both nurses, and when I got my last divorce, they told me that the fastest rising number of stds was in the over 55 age group. That doesn't really make me want to start that type of relationship. How about you?
Hi Teresa, Thanks for all the debunking!!! I have no desire to have another relationship, but I sure would love to have the one I had - before dementia that is.
Those myths weren't written by someone old.
