I just remembered a really nasty experience from this past year.
Due to an accident, I took advantage of the my auto insurance policy
for some physical therapy. The process involves periodic independent
medical evaluations. The person who did this eval was a orthodpedic md.
His report on me judged me by my age and size and decided that impecfect
functioning and pain was good enough for me. I was livid and reported him
to the insurance company as a fraud!
Am still thinking of writing the medical board to complain about his non-exam.
He never once asked me what my level of functioning was prior to the accident.

Agreed, it is usually said by someone younger wihtout thinking how they would feel at that age.
I know I do not want to be written off as not wanting to get improved, just because not all the pieces are perfect any more:-)
My black smoke kitty, Sindur, who has been with me for 18 years, passed on tonight. She has been a lesson in caring for an ageing system. For her last few weeks she did not have the strength to cliimb onto the bed, and she could put her front paws up and just had to say the word to get a boost up - or a boost down for a gentle landing - till I could arrange a ramp.
She has also needed special food for many months, (plus pretend special food for my other cat so she did not feel left out). SHe has had ailing parts for over a year, but with remedies has had a good life. SHe even swiped Gyda's Xmas toy recently, though she has not been able to run with anytihng - she could still bat it about.
Cats are such teachers too. Gyda has been helping to groom Sindur since she has not been up to much of it herself.
Sweet SIndur (a Calc Phos type) was a close companion for me for so long, and I surely got a lot out of the relationship. SHe has purred her appreciation of company, every day of her life including earlier today.
So I think we need to help older folks adapt to what they can do, and help them to achieve what THEY want to achieve, whatever their age. SIndur wanted to be in her favorite place on the piano every night and every resting time, requiring climbing there via the bed, and then she needed help at age 18 just lately.... I could not have suggested she had climbed there enough times for her age.
Namaste,
Irene
