My grandmonther used to say that any day you could get out of bed was a good day.

At 67 my body talks to me when I get up in the morning, sometimes it swears at me, but it is a "good day".

My favorite saying that my kid hears all the time is "use it or lose it" because I observed my elders shrivel up and die once they stopped moving.

My friend drove with cataracts for several years; it took us a while to realize she couldn't see a damn thing at night when she drove us places but once we did, we had a designated shotgun rider call out when there were pedestrians crossing the street, lol.

+1 on the comment above about getting covered now - Trumpcare is going to make coverage with any kind of pre-existing condition way more unaffordable than your coverage would be now. Or check and see if there are any medical schools nearby that provide any kind of community rates.
