And even if I don't develop cardiovascular disease, I might develop some other kind of disease with old age.
Late Adulthood- Biosocial -
Late Creative Development
When I'm old and bored I will need a way to express my creativity.

Assisted Living
If I get to a point where I can no longer live on my own, I want my family to move me into assisted living. I do not want to be a burden, and I understand that my family has there own life to live. It will not hurt my feelings when they tell me it is time for me to live in an assisted living home. Also, I will be able to make friends and won't be so lonely!
Late Adulthood- Psychosocial -
Learning my time is limited..
Maybe I will have the oppurtunity to hear the doctor tell me I have a few months to live. In my opinion, this would be ideal. I would love to have a chance to get my affairs in order and peacefully accept my death, I would like to die some time in my 80s; I don't want to be too old!
