is great!I'd say I have many of the common chronic diseases (high blood pressure, asthma,arthritis) that accompany aging. But I'm an optimistic and busy person, and I don't let myself focus on them. I had my hip replaced two years ago, which I found frightening, and I've blogged about it here: http://www.francine-hipreplacement.blogspot.com. I had to wait until I got old enough for Medicare to do it, because my insurance would not have covered it. This forced me to take a lot of anti-inflammatories that probably haven't helped my gastro-intestinal system.
I am the widow of a physician, and have first hand experience at how bad the health care system in the US has become, for both men and women. That's why another woman and I started http://www.ushealthcrisis.com
