According to a new nine-year study, more men and women under the age of 65 could be suffering strokes. That is US, the baby boomers! Yikes!

My Mom is 88 and is still alert, drives everywhere and has no plans of slowing down. She lives in an “assisted living ” apartment complex. I would live in these apartments, 3 meals a day served, someone cleans her apartment weekly and they even provide toliet paper. Sounds like a deal to me….

She eats her meals with 5 other people and only 1 is below 80. She is really comfortable, plays ”the word game” every afternoon to keep herself mentally sharp. (The residents make words out of a single word.)

The article really relays the fact we are just living longer.
