How long do you expect to live? - A wake up call

Well, I’m 64, I already outlived my life expectancy by 5 years. I hope to live another 5 years, maybe more if I lose the rest of this weight and start exercising. My parents and grandparents all died in their 70’s so no help there.

Honestly growing up I never thought Id be alive beyond 21, then 25. Now I’m 34 so I am not that fussed about actual death. More worried about losing functionality of limbs or living with back problems etc. At the moment I am fine but I know I need to do more exercise (even mild exercise) because I do far too much sitting.

I am well into my 65th year now. My father died at 73, my mom at 79. My maternal grandma died at 77, maternal grandpa at 93, paternal grandma at 86. All died of heart disease, strokes, cancer and Alzheimer’s. I’m guessing I’ll probably die in my 70’s, if not earlier.

Longevity runs in my family. Everyone survived until their late nineties! Hopefully I will be the same and moreso if I recover from this illness. Some people grow out of schizophrenia as they get older…
