Breast cancer, prostate cancer, obesity, diabetes, menopause. How much fun can have a couple 50ish? The cancer has stopped our sex life. Diabetes means having to take a basket of expensive drugs, doing, things that cost money rather be. Oh, and did I mention that our daughter and family are a family boomarang. What are the prospects?
Good Toots .... I am 55, my husband is 57 so I think we are qualified to answer this ....
First of all, menopause is a natural and normal period in the life ... I'm dealing with it very well .... hot flashes are minor anoia I am the light, and since my overall health is exellent I have no real concerns addition it brings to many women a sense of freedom ..... any possible pregnancy and not having to deal with another anoia female life ... once a month.
However, I am facing a form of rheumatoid arthritis-like .... he hit all my major joints ..... even my fingers ... but as you see I am able to use them well otherwise I would not have typed that right? There are things I can not do my job ..., dance, running (I used to jog 6000 6x per week) up on my toes .... ceiling paint ..... gardening all day on my Kness. .... I used to bounce outta bed ... Pinnochio now has nothing on my wood and painful movements.
My husband has diabetes type two ... we manage it well ...... yes he is chubby .... but I am sure that his diet is balanced and does not engage more ... and blood glucose levels are well within the rules and guidelines that its ...... dr gave it is fortunate that all he has to deal.
He also suffers from adult acne ..... cystic and strongly marked and widely across the face and body, into his wrists and ankles of him, despite medical intervention.
Now I have an adult child living with us, which will be re-cuperating a ..... major episode of bipolar disorder. It was difficult for us all .... this child has been without work and on disability for almost three years ... but slowly, with the help of a psychiatrist good therapist, and his own strength bowel, is back on his feet ...... and she will overcome this bump in speed in his life, as she continues on the positive path on it. It is almost there, too. We offer shelter, emotional support team .. but she takes care of his own company itself.
Diabetes, cancer, you deal with as best you can menopause ........ no "big Whoop" unless you make one, and it does not last forever ....... there are alternatives to consider to improve your sex life if you want badly ....
Regarding the girl boomarang''.... enabling you. She knows that screwed his life is not much because mommy and daddy will always bail out .... everything that you are responsible for support is to help her as long as it also helps to rebuild .... it can be done as I did once. My ex is out on me with 2 outta 4 children still at home, a mortgage, bills, and the value of one month only in the bank to cover it. I don, t worked in more than 20 years .... I did. My family helped me .... help myself. And I've never had ..... public assistance and I did it almost single-handedly for nearly 10 years until I met my husband and rheumatoid arthritis, I have been dealing with since I was 28 I was forced to withdraw from my work ... .. baker .... commercial that I managed to do well with all the heavy lifting, despite the RA .. oh, no drug treatment, as aspirin, heat and use of seals cranky ....
I kept a positive attitude ... is what kept me going.
Enjoy things as they are and give you DO .... we fight with everything you have inside .... you can not get out as if it never touched your life, your life will be better than it is giving to anger or despair.
There are no guarantees ..
