Things You Did to Make Seniors Years Better

Retired & Loving It! said:
We started a YouTube channel when we retired. It keeps us active getting out and about seeing sites. We didn’t want to retire and sit on our front porch in our rocking chairs. There will be a time for that….but while we’re physically able we want to travel and experience life!

I don't think you can do anything to mitigate spine issues. I had the choice of injections or surgery to relieve nerve pain due age related disc issues. He did separate the discs from c1 to c 7 by putting in pins & fusing others. I have no nerve pain now but the muscle nerves that were causing the pain were crushed beyond the ability to recuperate. The loss of the muscle nerves for my left arm & hand left me with little to no use in my arm & hand. Even though I lost that use I feel that choosing surgery was the best long term way to go for enjoying life.

Ouch, that sounds scary.. Sorry you have a left arm challenge. I am going to try PEMF therapy. Some have had positive nerve, muscle cartilage, bone, cell etc. regeneration improvement with PEMF, for numerous physical conditions, so it is worth a try. Can't hurt to try.
Thanks for your help I will keep it in mind what you said

What is it with husbands and apartment living? ...
When I tried to convince my (now late) husband that it would be a great move, he reacted like it was an instant death sentence.
No conversation about it. Period.

And I too am very happy with my apartment living these days. It's an easy and worry free life.

A list of possibilities:

He doesn't want to move out of the house he's been working his ass off to pay for.
Yard-work is living.
You made him as comfortable as you could there. He fears he'll be giving that up, too.
If he's retired, he finally gets to enjoy relaxing in his own home for more than a few hours a day.
You asked for it, you're keeping it.
He's pissed at the bank or loan company.
Apartment living is the opposite of solitude.
Also, you're not allowed to fix things yourself.
