My grandmother lived with my dad and I for 10 years before she passed away at home with us a day short of 100.
Very late in life and I mean really late in life she would get up in the middle of the night and trash her room. Even though she had a walker it was always a mystery to us about what was going on late at night.
It became a habit for me to get up early and check on her then get her room back in shape.
We did have a home health aide come in Monday through Friday but it was only for 4 hours a day. That is all the government would allow and we were not putting her in a nursing home since she had taken care of me when I was little and my mom passed away.
The salt thing is different since I do sometimes cook with it now. But my dad was diagnosed with high BP and I just cut it out when I cooked with it for him.
Old habits never die. I still get up at 5 am but for different reasons now.
Mornings are quiet- I can watch the sun come up - see the overnight news and decide whether or not there will be trades I need or want to make. (Premarket is open at 5am for me)
The cats get the early breakfast they want- and I get good coffee. I can get quite a bit accomplished before I have to be to work at noon.
