Everything changes during your eighties--except the traits that make you special: your curiosity, your sense of humor, your love of family. The rest can be handled. This is a book about coping; with humor and insight it addresses issues such as stubborn arthritis, spotty memory, bewildering bladders, and precarious balance. But it's also a treatise on overcoming. Readers will discover a host of "tricks" for smoothing out life's bumps and dealing with most of what ails them.We all learned how to parent by experience, but unfortunately we can't learn about aging that way. Maralys' book presents a primer on aging that is practical, humorous, and factual. I have searched years for a resource on aging for my patients and now I have found the perfect one. Thank you, Maralys, for helping all of us age with dignity, grace, and humor. -Robin K. Dore, M.D.
