I just feel defeated that I try to take care of myself & the long term outcomes aren't that great.

In some ways, knowing that my life expectancy is lower encourages me to take better care of myself. But it's hard to accept.
What do you want to last for if you're not living.
It's not the time you're here. It's about the way you live.
I will trade happily my 66 yrs for Elvis 44.
There's an indian in Peru that has been plowing the land for 117 years.
Which one do you prefer?.

I knew the expectancy long ago. And emphysema has a comorbity also.
My life expectancy is 68.9 years. I'm 66.8. But will die happy. I've lived three lives in one. I made it count. That's what is all about. Make it count.
