Alishan Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I am trying to be proactive and make choices that put me back in the driver's seat as much as possible. I have always been self sufficient and self reliant... at my age now its a bit hard to start and be anything else... This is a good thing though because with no family here and doing this on my own can you imagine what a mess I might be .Sorry to hear of your diagnosis, & welcome to this community.
