Hi Chirley!
Yesterday I was invited to my eldest daughter's family. My grand daughters - 17 and 15 yo - were asked to choose among my not very expensive jewellery. I had among other things an opal, that I bought in Melburn many years ago. My younger daughter's son will get my deceased husband's things.
I think your doctor is right when he can't tell you about life expectancy. Doctors are not God and should not try to give that kind of info.
Hope you will be be able to live many independant Days
!
Kind regards
