Unless yo can get her to think your way, forget it!. I am almost that old, I don't take care of myself and I have a lot wrong with me!. I get so sick of trying to fight the diabetes, and all the other stuff!. It's her life!. Tell her how you feel about wanting her around longer, and maybe you can make a small difference, but probably not for long!. Did you happen to think maybe she doesn't want to live all that much longer!? I don't!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
