Decline just...happens. Part of wearing out. Different parts wear out at different rates on different people. Perhaps the mental decline contributes to making the hearing aids difficult to manage or easy to forget.

True. While it would be great to be that active at 93, I don't even know if I'll still be alive when I'm 83...or even when I'm 73.

Exactly. I do still do strenuous and active hiking weekly but I am only 62. People like her are my inspiration. My philosophy is simple. Keep on moving. DW and I walk 3-5 miles every day with the dog. Once in the morning and once after dinner.
