Doctors' appointments
Time to think (could be good, could be bad)
Time to explore old and new interests (focus and energy permitting)

What resources for seniors exist up there in the North?
Not much for senior men...namie exists...but nothing really for support groups...have had numerous docs....like everything else here in Alaska...very expensive..even with good insurance...looking to move to warmer climate...more daylight....better medical facilities...my advice is to not get sick here...choices very limited.....i.e. emergency room...psych room..at hospital...I was hoping that maybe there was hope for severe depression sufferers in new meds....alternate treatments....ya know? maybe a break=thru other than electro shocks....padded rooms..cuffs...sorry ......venting....thanks for taking the time to ask...Arti
