Being married and taken care of can't be beaten.

 

Having my cake and eating it to, I will let yawl work that one out.

I miss eating cake.

Things like hips, not arms. When that happens they tend to not heal and it puts a lot of stress on the body.

Hips are no big deal. They were something we did a lot of in orthopedics. Old ladies fall over and break their neck of femur all the time. Simple operation to insert a steel pin fixes it.

A friend of mine prefer to say "Getting old is sh... ".

Then one day he died after short illness. He was 52.

I found this interesting video on YouTube about the benefits for older men to live alone.  Actually, the points mentioned in the video would seem also to apply to women living alone.

The only downside that I can think of when living alone is if one has medical needs or a medical emergency. A compromise would be to employ a daily housekeeper or closer neighbour who perhaps brings food (if one is housebound), does some cleaning, or just pops in to check that you're OK.

 

Indeed they do tackle some of those issues in their follow up:

Just hire a nurse so many hours per day.

 

Cheaper in the long run.

The bills are less and you don't have to deal with the cretinous Thai family.

With all due respect, what else could she say?  She's outta there when things go sideways, so you'd better start looking now?

 

 

 

You write as if you know the lady in question.
