Yes. I watched my grandmother slide from the strongest person in our family into a barely recognizable shell as she would have me come sit with her and i would have to tell her repeatedly in 5 minute increments that her brain was a asshole and there’s nothing she can do but eat well, take care of herself. It didn’t matter to the dementia she had. When she was sitting in bed crying on my shoulder telling me that all her friends are dead, she can’t remember simple things and so many other batshit crazy things I can’t even remember, and all the while, everyday for about 10 years I woke up to check and see if she was a corpse that day.
I’m well well well aware of what 90 can look like.
I’m gonna see where I am at 85 and decide then. I know some 85 year olds that are still basically completely all there, and some of them gave genetics to me so I’m optimistic
uh, have you seen 90?

Look at Dick Van Dyke. Over a 100 and still dancing

My grandparents are in their 90s, and still are active. They only stopped skiing in their mid 80s. Genetics plus life choices I suppose.
