Patricia,

I would like to further reply and add a "side car" onto your concern. I'm 52 and even though I'm just now planning to go on my own as a full timer I did have some formal training years and years ago. However I feel what you are saying about the concern of moving out in our "second adulthood"....as I call it.

I very recently suffered a heart attack and I would like to paste a note that was sent to me by an acquaintance who was wishing me well.

<< Was watching a show the other night on CNN about the oldest practising lawyer in the USA who is still practising law at the ripe old age of 107 i beleive.

When he was asked what the biggest factor he attributed to living so long was -- He said it was because he had a massive heart attack at age 53.. This was a wake up call for him he said-- to live and laugh --eat healthy-- exercise every day faithfully-- ,and most important of all he said was manage his stress levels -- not allow stress in his life at all -- He said the best and happiest years of his life have been the years following his heart attack.

Why do i mention this? Because I hope the very same for you. I guess i know the emotional recovery is often tougher than the physical part of recovery-- . Wishing you the best Geary -- hope you have a very speedy recovery Best Wishes >>

Best Regards,
Geary
