Also, keep a good medical reference manual like Merck, WebMD, Mayo Clinic, DMOZ, Dr. Weil, PsychCentral, etc. to research health issues, answer basic questions and to prepare for medical/dental/vision appointments. One needs a personal and medical support network.

*Purchased and utilized Bath Salts-Batherapy (Para Laboratories)--watch skin getting too dry
*Committed to hot showers every morning and hot baths every evening--watch skin getting too dry
*Iced feet or other areas of need every night for 30 minutes as needed
*Committed to going to bed earlier and getting more sleep at night, reduced stress, multi-tasking, tried to keep perspective, positive attitude and a good sense of humor; as one ages, one has less ability and energy to handle work, remember and do other daily tasks so planning, preparation and organization become even more important to approaching and completing tasks
