She's a hardy woman!!! What a great story

She has more stamina than I have. Nursing a young person's game. The speed of change and turnover of patient's gives little time to get to know people well.
On one hand its very commendable and fantastic, although on the other sad if that's all she has.

I have a friend here who is being "forced" to retire as she hits her 70th birthday this summer  as she has fought against it until now (but at 70 organisation can now make her). She is not looking forward to retirement as she has no family and hates idea of being alone all day every day.
