How many of you are retired?

Veddy goot Smedley...tah tah and yes the servant problem is just the tip of the iceberg...whot??

I am semi-retired. My wife and I shepherd our grandchildren,ages one and two, three days a week. That's active retirement on steroids.

I retired in Sept 2005 at age 62. Diagnosed in Sept 2009, having had the good fortune to first await being on Medicare. Current age 74, though 75 is nigh. Health and energy levels have been great these past 13 years, save for this one glitch. Currently enrolled in an immunotherapy study at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York City. My year long part ends in mid November. I will post a detailed report about my experience with the therapy at that time. Best to all.

I have been fully retired for about 4 years. It only took a few months to realize I needed something scheduled to do when not traveling. While looking for volunteer work I found Road to Recovery of the American Cancer Society. They provide transportation of cancer patients to treatment. I joined and heartily encourage anybody who still drives to think about it. We volunteer for drives on a web site that lists available needs. So you only volunteer when you want. You don't have to notify anybody if you are leaving town or have appointments, you just don't volunteer for drives during that period. Some only volunteer for drives once or twice a week, some more, some less. You can read more about the program here. https://www.cancer.org/treatment/support-programs-and-services/road-to-recovery.html

Oh, and if any of you need a drive or know somebody who does give them that web page. People who need drives may live alone or their normal driver has work. They must be able to get in the car without the driver's assistance. At the treatment center there are normally wheelchairs and volunteers available to help them to the office.
