Summary:
"Francine Falk-Allen--polio survivor who knows a thing or two about living with a disability--offers her own take on how to navigate the complications aging brings with equanimity (and a sense of humor). Part I is a jaunt through accessible travel pleasures and pitfalls in several parts of the world; Part II addresses the adaptations caregivers could make for a more mutually rewarding relationship with their loved ones, plus advice for physically challenged and aging persons themselves regarding exercise, pain management, mobility, care tips, and more; and Part III discusses the challenges, rewards of engaging with support groups sharing similar issues, with a little activism and advocacy for good measure. Accessible and wryly funny, No Spring Chicken is a fun and informative guide to living your best and longest life—whatever your physical challenges, and whatever your age"--Back cover.
