Mom did pretty well at that - 3 masters degrees, one at 50. She was pretty sharp right up until about 5 years ago. She had a mini stroke that really slowed her down, then had to move to assisted living and now is in a nursing home.
Just tough to live this long when you hoped (expected) to die at home. She never would have expected to be in a nursing home but life can sometimes be cruel.
Not a great visit today. She woke up enough to have a little cheesecake (her favorite) and some fresh strawberries. She knew it was us but that was about it. No conversation or awareness that it was her birthday. More like a 3 year old than a 93 year old. Like I said, life can sometimes play cruel tricks on you.
