Same with my mom as well, mentally she is fine. Her body is just wearing out. She is using a walker all the time now, not up to cooking anymore and that's an issue because she is Italian and always was cooking. I cook for us when I have time but mostly I buy prepared or frozen foods so I can make sure she is eating properly. Tonight she is having hot Italian sausage and collard greens that I made last night. She is eligible for Meals On Wheels but she refused, she's very picky about food. I could never take her out for Italian food, it was never cooked correctly or the gravy wasn't made right. :D

90+ is extreme advanced age and anyone who makes it and still can live on their own deserves a lot of credit, your grandmother included!

Good coal stoves never die, they just fade away.
