I think I have strength and intelligence but sense is gone, as I know I should not overdo it and yet I do it.

My version of the serenity prayer these days -

Lord give me the strength to do the things that can be done, the sense to ignore the things that can't be done, and the intelligence to know the difference

Hmm.
The May long weekend is not that far away and that's always been the traditionally start to summer and BBQ season, IMO flogging things like imported corn and watermelons when most farmers haven't even been on the land yet is just exacerbating the disconnect between expectations and reality.
And Lake Huron is currently 5°C

Cwillie, in east tn my little grand-nephew (age 9) has already been swimming in the lake for 2 weekends (in 70s and 80s).. although we have snow in the forecast for tomorrow. So grilling outdoors has already started too.

Nacy,
Look at how exciting it will be to go on trip.
I admit I am fearful flyer who loves traveling and I went on hundred of flights. I know it is the safest way to travel, but fear is not rational. I would never give up traveling.
Cwillie,
So true for us Canadians, my BBQ is cover with 10 cm of snow, another 10 cm predicted for today.

So I'm checking the upcoming grocery flyers on line and many of the stores are pushing BBQ season and sales on stuff like watermelons, corn on the cob, steaks and burgers and their condiments - what the heck, it's the first of May! And we live in Canada! Even here in the sunny south of Ontario it's not time for backyard parties🙄 I think our grocery executives need to get off their yachts and take a reality check.

Poor Clint Eastwood would like to join the cast of that show you mention, SP, as well.
It is sad to see. That said, some of the stars who I watched as an older adult and who were just "kids" now look almost old as me, as in Jeff Daniels. Something of a comfort in that and also somewhat disconcerting. I keep looking and wondering if I should go check the mirror like the plague. If I check I may not look like Jeff Daniel's Sister, but rather STILL like his granny! Ha ha!

My mom looked like an extra from a horror movie and nothing was keeping her here but her fear of death and her own stubborn will.

Jimmy Carter looks like he should be an extra in the TV series The Walking Dead but he is still alive one year after entering hospice. It is insane.

I am glad the car is gone. One less worry and the payment was so high on it. I have decided to get only used cars from now on, as in six or so years old so I can pay insurance, I will begin driving again by starting slow, driving a couple blocks.

I just wanted to answer the question as why I want a diagnosis. I might have to hold off for a while, but down the road I might have to apply for disability. Yes, I know Asperger's Syndrome not longer exists as it is under the autism umbrella, it is just a personal preference to use it vs autism for many reasons. I can be diagnosed by a psychiatrist, I just would not get testing although I may be able to get a referral if I am diagnosed again.

hothouseflower, I am so sorry about your friend. Prayers

My heart is broken for you. I am going through this with a family member. He is 15 months past diagnosis, removal and treatment and the last two months has developed many new issues. Every so many years it seems that someone I know has a glioblastoma. Only thing in common is seems to have happened to them in their 60s. So sorry.

Hothouse Flower. Your friend is lucky to have you in her corner. She has a lot of decisions to make now about what kind of care she will and will not accept in fighting this. Support her and let her use you as a sounding board. Don't complicate things with your own opinions about her options unless she specifically ASKS for it. As one who has done the Big C. twice I can tell you that the opinions and advice of others is one of the most complicating and confusing parts of it all. She's going to need the advice of a good medical team who gives her ALL the options. Support her choices and love on her. There's a lot to learn that enriches us on ALL of life's journeys, even this one.

I’m exhausted when my granddaughters leave after a weekend. I cannot imagine having to raise kids into my 50s and 60s.

Okay I just read an article from Yale University and the idea behind delaying menopause was not to prolong fertility indefinitely, it's about having the ability to preserve the hormonal benefits, in addition this could also possibly benefit women who experience early menopause or have to delay having children because of cancer (or other) treatments. Of course we don't have to look hard to find lots of unethical doctors who might take such treatments to the extreme.

"they want to prolong menopause so women can have babies later in life" It's not only wrong it's stupid. They should work on a menopause pill for men to stop them from remaining fertile until they die.
