If you're praying for long life you might want to consider your health when you're old. I would venture to say that most of us have been involved or know somebody who has needed a caregiver in their golden years. What most of us don't probably think about is our possible need for care in our golden years.
I wanted to make this posting to get a sense of what people are thinking regarding their own old age. We can either think "oh, I'm in perfect health, I don't have anything to worry about." or we can prepare ourselves.
I never would have dreamed that I would be taking care of my young wife at 33 years old when she went on dialysis nearly 19 years ago. The point I'm making is long term care doesn't just happen to old people.
Now I've been thinking recently about my future as I get older. Presently my wife can't care for me and I just don't want to put my son in the position of taking care of me when I'm old.
Out of curiosity and a sincere desire to get ideas, I ask you the question, what will you do when you get to the point you need additional assistance in your old age?
Love to hear your comments.
