Great reference for the "Sandwich Generation"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Those of us who have kids at home and aging parents understand the stress of being a member of the "Sandwich Generation." I have found this book to be very helpful in understanding what to anticipate regarding my parents, how to help them stay healthy, and how to evaluate the seriousness of their health issues. This should be on every baby boomer's bookshelf.
This book saved my life!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is a great reference book to check causes for various ailments we oldsters experience. I recently had a serious bacterial infection. I checked Dr. Connally's book and found that the drug I had been prescribed was correct but the duration of the treatment was too short. I checked with my doctor and he agreed to extend treatment. I feel great now. Thanks, Dr. Connally!
Like a long informative chat with your family doctor,

The "What to Expect When You're Expecting" of Old Age
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I am not in the Third Third of my life. In fact, I'm just entering my second third. However, I found this book enormously informative and comforting as I manage the care of my two parents, in the early third third of their lives, and my grandmother in the late third, or actually the fourth third. I compare this book to that wonderful guide to pregnancy that we all know, "What to Expect When You're Expecting." The book takes you by the hand through old age.
