Saw her tonight, and although sitting in a chair and being chatty, rather than being in bed, is very fed up. She just says if only she could eat and drink normally, she could cope better.
She is 82, and up until about 8 weeks ago, a very fit active, and sprightly 82, who you wouldn't;t take to be a day over 70.
A heathy eater, only an occasional drinker, always looked after herself, took loads of vitamins and supplements, for what? It boils my .... to think of those who abuse their bodies with alcohol, tobacco and drugs, yet they live a long and problem free life, and the innocent are the ones that get struck down. I know that is not the case all the time, and not saying that those who abuse their bodies should be punished , but they are the ones who chose to take the substances, knowing fine well the risks involved in doing so.
I shall probably be absent from the zone for a bit, apart from a morning and evening visit.
I am worn out trying to work, lead my life and visit each night.
