Why can't we get the local authorities to plan 'Retirement Villages ' rather than these homes that are in the pipeline. It could be a super place, all built with ageing in mind from the sprightly 60 to 90 plus. Special pool with lowering mechanism, cinema with individual earphone sound, small keep fit studio, We could facilitate all types of disabilities and staff on call to assist. Unless we needed 24/7 care, where a special coloured ward section was positioned we would have our rooms with casement doors opening onto a designed high level garden circle, where we could plant flowers with out bending down.....I would suggest this is the way to plan for older people. Care Homes make us feel old, Retirement Village...thumbs up....dont you agree.

What is so good to read, is other people who have the same or similar symptoms and what caused it. Thank you for your comments.

Thank you..it is true, I do have a history of getting over-anxious. I will try to relax more. Kind of you to reply x

I convinced my older, distant grandchildren that it hurts not to be acknowledged when we go to the trouble of sending cards and gifts. I did this by inserting a THANK YOU card inside the birthday card, and included a poem I found in a book of verse which was about how happy it makes us feel to know we are appreciated. It worked....always get my Thank You card with nice words returned....and smiley mojos!

HARRAN, what were the symptoms you had when they discovered the problem with your heart. Did you have to wait long before it was discovered to be a heart issue?
