Is it time to hang it up?
Hi,
Here is the story...
I am 73 years old and my wife is afflicted with dementia and several
other infirmities and is no longer able to care for herself in any way.
I have a great helper that comes in for 32 hours a week to give
me a break *and* help care for my wife.
My problem with respect to bicycling is that if I have some kind
of accident and break *something* ( collarbone, hip, etc) then I
will not be able to care for her. i.e. get her out of bed, dressed, take
her to the bathroom ( and cleanups ),etc...
This would mean that I would likely have to place her in a nursing home and
I do not think this would be good for her in any way.
Has anyone here had to deal with this sort of problem or have a friend
in a similar situation?
Thanks
Jerry
PS: I am putting the bike on a trainer today...Daughter number 1 insists that
I continue exercising.
