If you had to name the one thing that most frightens you about growing old, what would it be?

My kids growing up....and leaving. What ever will I do when I don't need to drive back and forth from this and that? What will I be when I don't need to be a MOM anymore?

A few things, how my kids will turn out worries me sometimes. I worry about my aches and pains from getting older. i have a problem with carpal tunnel syndrome, I really need to have surgery for it. I also have some bad vericose veins...and being a nurse doesn't help that at all. I worry I won't accomplish all that I want to.
I'm too much of a worry-wart, IMO.

I think its becoming infirm and having to have someone change my diapers, that kind of thing, or being completely out of it. I worked in a nursing home with people who were still pretty together but my friend worked across the street at the personal care home. It was awful. I remember this old lady to was strapped to a wheelchair and all day she would just screech "help me" over and over again, completely clueless as to where she was or what was happening. It was very sad. So I'd hate that. I hope to remain pretty healthy and with it until the night I go to sleep and don't wake up.
