Yes

But the question that keeps coming to my mind is... how long am I going to be able to keep going like this?

Fortunately I'm getting to the point where I probably don't have that many years left anyway. But whatever number of years there are... can I really keep this up for that additional number of days, weeks, years?

Of course, it's true that I've already survived many more years than I have left.

But it seems like, as I get older, the pain & confusion are getting worse & my ability to cope is fading...
