She even said that when I get old and need help with my medications that she will hire a pretty young nurse to take care of me. I told her I probably qualify for that sort of help right now. Mrs DocV was not amused.

The Mrs. usually aren't with that kind of help.

Itl does get better with age. I had 5. Or rather my wife had 5 (4 girls) and we raised them.
The oldest is 40 and the youngest is 28 (the son) tomorrow. Now he is interested in fishing.
The girls finally all got married and are all over the world. The son survived his teen years with
few scars. The girls ALL went through their "we have all the answers" phase and moved away from
home only to return once they learned that they couldn't afford all the answers. At least until they
finished college and started their careers and families. The son did this also, but in a little different
way. The outcome has been the same except for the family part. Some day he will.

I had many days and nights of OMG what have we done??? We were blessed with good kids in the end.
Only thing we can't get out of them is this thing that they can't wait until they can put us in a HOME!
