3. But at least you're making the transition while you are still standing on two feet!

The most important advice I gave to patients IMHO was to prepare for aging BEFORE they actually had to deal with it. Ramps, instead of steps, tub benches and walk in showers, wider hallways and doorways, grab bars--anywhere they make life safer, re-arranging closets, cupboards, garages for safe accessibility of items most used. Very important changes to make before our balance and strength becomes too compromised. Smart one you are for starting early. How to deal with your daughter? You know better than I do.
