Good morning! Another cloudy day with showers. Today my mom will be discharged from rehab and move into her new apartment at assisted living. Her furniture + possessions are already there, so we're hoping it will be as seamless as possible. Still, it will be a big change to have a new living space after living where she'd been since 1978. (Yep, 1978.) Another lesson that no matter how old you get, you need to stay resilient!
Have a good day no matter how many changes come your way. #Today

Yes, it is a big change, but after almost 2 months in rehab she's anxious to have a place of her own that also provides some of the assistance she needs.
@Sharonbw
It's what we all hope for, in the end.
Have you read Atul Gawande's book 'Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End'?
It's a #mustRead "if you think you might get older as time goes by and/or think you might even die at some time (or have relatives or other loved ones to whom this might apply), I urge you to read this book. And if you happen to be over 50 (or care about someone over 50), read this book now.--You heard me. I said. NOW!" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20696006-being-mortal
Hugs to you.

It's a considerable amount of time. People used to stay in one place more frequently.
My grandma was born in 1913 at home and lived in that home until 1992. Only leaving briefly for 4 years when she got married. Then her and her husband took over the family farm. @Sharonbw
