I'll be 80 in October and with the complication due to my failing kidney, I don't think there's an "easy" fix.
I'm wondering if I'm wrong? I know that Dick Cheney famously had help with his heart issues.
Oh, btw, I also have an issue with atrial fibrillation, but because it's intermittent, I've been told that cardio version won't work.
My brain seems to be working just fine, which makes it difficult for me to accept the physical impairment that I'm experiencing. I keep wanting to find a way to get back to "normal."
Thanks for the thoughts. :oldfogey:
