That’s really neat that you have a grandma still alive, and over 100!
This is fun! (BTW, I’m pregnant finally, age 38.)
Dad: alive, 69
Dad’s Dad: 98 (and sharp as a tack until the last year; can’t remember “why”, probably just general shut-down)
Dad’s Mom: 83 (rheumatoid arthritis, ????)
Mom: alive, 70
Mom’s Dad: 84 (general shut-down; had Alzheimer’s badly)
Mom’s Mom: 80 (found comatose with large leg gash, died few months later)
Besides the fact I’m struggling alot with GI problems since I got married the other year, my prospects for longevity are reasonable if I overcome them.
That’s wonderful! My grandma says it’s fun to be over 100, if you have all your marbles (which she does) because you can get away with anything when people know you are that old; sleep in church, argue with the doctor, hang up on obnoxious callers, curse at telemarketers, etc.
She is kidding, of course.
She is a very sweet lady and is wonderful with the hordes of grandchildren, great grandchildren, and so on. She still lives in her own, btw.
Congrats on the little one! And I hope the marriage isn’t the *cause* of the GI issues!!
