I am 60 and I cannot get my head around the fact that I cannot fix much anymore. I cannot do a lot each day like I used to. And, no one seems too worried about it. Probably because nothing bad has happened yet. I do find it really cringey that this loss of ability looks obvious as hell to me but others don't seem to see the depth or the severity of it.

But... what can we do? I can find distractions to keep my mind off of this, but all distraction is temporary. And, the evidence is getting worse. We certainly cannot afford to get me any kind of assistance or help, and my husband is getting bad with his own issues.

It doesn't seem to ease up, does it?
