hi laurie,
i feel your pain. i am a 54 year old gramma of 6 boys and i know all about losing the person you were and becoming something you are not happy becoming.
i was a very busy icu and post op nuse for years and then came to a dead stop.
that was 10 years plus ago and some days i accept it and some days i don't and i think i will always feel that way.
we can only adapt and do what we can, some days more than others.
your personality will make you more frustrated but it will also give you the push to stay active and fight the good fight.
i am glad to meet you and hope you find some help and support here.
joan
