I retired also a couple months ago. I was only taking care of
one lady 2 days a week (as a home health aid) for an hour and I had
decided when she didn't need me anymore -- I would quit.
I'm also thinking about quiting driving. We have a lot of snow here
in the winter. They clear behind the cars but not between. My kids
worry that I'll fall between the cars and no one will see me. I
think I will pay for 3 months insurance and that will be October.
Then I can drive this summer yet.
Here at the retirement center they have a shuttle and buses and will
get you around if you want to go. I also have osteoporosis and have
fallen quite a bit . I sure don't want a broken hip. I now
have a walker with a seat and a lift chair. The walker helps me
get to act ivies and committee meetings. I feel safer with it.
