078 Chapter 6 Conclusion The good thing about my age is that I saw my daughter grow up and start working in society. I have four grandchildren to play with and look after. One of the grandchildren has a disability and I’m able to help look after him. The bad things are … I’m now walking slowly and everything has slowed down. And sicknesses are coming up. Now I go to the doctor more often and I’m slower to do things. I had a double knee replacement 10 years ago and now it’s the shoulder. What’s been surprising about being this age is maybe my driving – that I’m not driving anymore. After my cataract operation, my right eye isn’t good, so I cannot drive. It’s not convenient. My doctor says I’m getting glaucoma so now a specialist is looking after me. I hope one day I can drive again. My left eye is still good. I have my religion and it’s helping me a lot. I conduct an all-age fellowship every two weeks. It’s great. I’m a busy grandmother and happy. —Dorcas, 74
