Why am I still here?

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” I can certainly say I have need to be adaptable to change and maybe that is why I have survived? Or maybe I have just been lucky and progress has slowed.  Went to hospice today and I stood up. It kills my ankles and knees but worth every second of that stretch. Penny has gone on her leave today and I meet the new carer, Nora tomorrow. I'm quite looking forward to meeting her and although quite inexperienced in care I hope we get on and can work together. I will report more after Saturday.
