Do you do everything you can to insure a healthy senior life?

When I was young I didn’t even consider it. Why didn’t someone tell us of the future problems? I am 67 now, so you can figure out when I was growing up.
Oh yes, I was told don’t run into the street or you may get hit by a car. But, nobody ever taught me about the things we ate, drank or “smoked”. It just wasn’t an issue back then. At least diet should have been, but no, it wasn’t either.
Alright, okay, yes I started smoking when I was 17. Of course I became addicted like everyone else. As time went on, it became know just how bad it was. But, of course I had every excuse in the book, for not quitting. Although, secretly I tried to quit, but could not do it. When I was 49, I finally just quit cold turkey. Nothing else worked. But, I did have success with cold turkey. Two weeks later my beautiful, wonderful mother passed away. Somehow I managed to get through that without falling back. All of my annual checkups which included a chest x-ray, always showed clear no problems. It went on that way for 15 years. I thought I was home free. No such luck. A few years ago I started having asthma again, shortness of breath, etc. “emphysema” and I did it all by myself, “damn”. What a rotten shame I didn’t take charge of my own health a long time ago. However, I am helping a neighbor to quit. If I am successful, my permanent condition won’t be worth it, but at least it will take a small notch of guilt away. I have wonderful grandchildren, as does every grandparent, and a lot to live for as long as I can.
Oh, I am doing everything I can to insure my health as best I can, “now” for what it is worth. How about you?
