In response to "giggling." by Epiphany

my mom is 73 and swims, does yoga and is a home-visiting 'trainer' for really elderly people living at home.

she goes and is a 'personal physical trainer' to get them to do basic exercises. her 'clients' are like 85 year olds. she does it as a volunteer through the VON (Victorian Order of Nurses.)

i love that.

- yes, she was a basketball star as a teenager. and she always swam, and played softball and stuff. never anything too much, but always something. -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 09:32 2
