CAN river cruise the Danube.

Can't run around the park?

Can't drive?
CAN use taxi or travel with an Aide.

Can't cook?

Use that fear as an incentive to not procrastinate about seeing a geriatrician and/or whatever other specialist can give you guidance in increasing your energy, strength, and flexibility.

If you have one or more chronic conditions, too often lifestyle choices - food/nutrition, exercise, mindset - can make a huge difference in how physically dependent on others you will need to be.
