Welcome and I'm glad you have started posting. Your response to me about my struggle to get off the feeding tube was very encouraging--your perspective is definitely needed here! I teach at a community college and I can tell you that you probably won't be anywhere near the oldest person returning to school your community college has seen. And we faculty all love the older students because they really are focused on learning, not "partying" while they are there!
And it's definitely true the world could use more good nutritionists ( I saw one briefly at our hospital who also was not very helpful).
