But got to keep active. My SIL was diagnosed with Alzeihimers Monday and she is only 5 years older than I am. Beginning stages so hope they will have something to help slow the progression.
Started playing games on phone too. I think anything to keep our mind and body active cannot hurt.
Sorry to hear about your SIL. From what i have read, you are on the right path to decreasing your chances of getting it. Mind and body exercising!!0 -

I finally got to hit the pool today. It felt so good to be back in the water. Back is doing surprisingly well today. Despite all the craziness.

sorry to hear about your SIL....keeping your mind and body active are great ideas....the line dance classes I take require the use of both mind and body 0 -
I got super upset at my PT's last night. She took away the weights I had worked up to and put me back down because my back 'twinged'. So tempted to just not tell her and work through it, because I don't want to lift what's 'safe', I want a little bit of a challenge!! I sulked. But I still told her, because I know she's right. This just sucks.0

Thanks Barbie. We just have to stay active. She never did but don't know if it would have prolonged the inevitable for her or not. But I just feel it will help us all. I know I feel so much better with activity and exercise both for mind and body.0 -

Thanks Janice. It just reiterates why we need to stay active both in mind and body. I don't know if that will keep Alzeihimers at bay or not but I want to think it can't hurt.0 -

I know you are one proud and tired Mama!!0 -
I am back to doing a Body Attack and a Body Combat class per week. Today was Body Attack. Fierce but so invigorating. Not bad for a 68 year old. I think I must have been 30 years older than most of the girls in there. I just don't do all the jumping jacks they do. I just do side steps with arms overhead instead.0
