Do you worry about getting older?
I don't, age is just a number to me and I am determined to live life to the full.
|
Not really.
No point worrying about something that can't be changed. |
I don't worry about getting older.. But I do worry that I've not seen most if the things I want to see before I die!
|
Not so much about getting older, more about health issues as I am getting older.
|
I worry about Ben getting older
|
I worry about 24 for some reason
|
Considering the alternative.... no.

..no, I'm cool with it, I've liked every age I've been...

I want to be older and settle down already and ****, I'm like an 30 year old trapped inside an 18 year old's body :laugh:

I try not to think about it too much but these days I'm reminded a lot of my deteriorating health, the mind is willing and the body's not, I wouldn't say I actively worry about it though. I do tend to worry about my husband more than myself as he has developed diabetes and other health issues and I cannot contemplate life without him!
|
As someone with life long health issues it does concern me. As a child I was lucky enough to have my parents around to basically do anything that I couldn't. As you get older, not so much.

Sorry to hear about your health issues. Do you get help? |
I worry I'll run out of time

I'm not able to lift and carry things that are much bigger than a bin bag either, so for example if I wanted a new desk. Getting rid of the current one and getting a new one up my stairs is impossible unless someone helps, which to be honest nobody apart from my father is ever willing to do, and he's a busy man anyway so I don't really bother asking. I get no official help, don't think i'm entitled to it. |

It just happens we got no choice ! we hear horrendous stories every day and just think ourselves lucky ! We just gotta get on with it and hope we don't become one of those poor elderly people failed so badly by the health service in this country , even more so if relatives are few on the ground.

When I first joined the guy was great, he came to see me when I joined and would call me at least once a fortnight to see if he could help with anything. He left, and apart from a few emails I have had no contact with his replacement. I was in my 30s before I had even heard of ASBAH, and that was only as a result of a chance meeting with an old school friend, who has the same health issues. Unless you cause a fuss and chase and chase, and know who to chase, nobody seems to really give a toss. |

Well i've just looked at the quarterly newletter Wecil sends out and it says in Wales it is registered charity number 1053515 - see if that helps and i will ask my daughter re Wales when we speak and see if i can glean any more about help if you should need it - what part of Wales are you - generally ? |

Thank you, very much |
..I know you've probably already heard of the Shine charity for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus..but they have a team in Wales...maybe if you contacted them, they could put you in touch with someone in your local area that you could talk to because it doesn't seem right that you don't get any help..or even that you have to look for it and don't have it offered to you...here's the link anyway..
