I'm in the same boat. I am in my 60s and just getting started with this program. My husband is in the hospital now with a blockage in his intestines. This is not the first time either. He has been in the hospital off and on for most of this year. We found out last week that he has calcium build up in most of his arteries. He also is trying to have his knees done so he can walk without a walker. My daughter just had a bunionectomy and is just now starting to go back to work. I am working part-time to try to be there for them. Yesterday I was in the hospital studying and will go back today. Life does get in the way but after we have learned just to put our heads down and meet it with strength and determination that it won't get the better of us. Good luck to you.
Stay strong, Gail! Make sure you take care of yourself so that you could take care of your husband and daughter and work on your studies. You've got this!
Best of luck and prayers for you too, Gail.
