Job description

My daughter rightfully describes me as a great lady living in a wonderful home. I am educated, articulate, intelligent, fully able, smart and delightful. I have slight physical challenges with an arthritic hip; it is very painful and I am still trying to adjust to the right medication to manage the pain. Due to macular degeneration I only have 10 percent of vision. Other than that, my cognition is spot on.
