Lou-
I read your post yesterday and decided not to jump in because all of the other folks were saying a lot of good stuff.
But now I'll add my $.02. I went through a couple of real rough years with depression awhile back and got through it through sheer determination and the support of my family. Family--that's the number one most important thing.
The scecond important thing is keeping busy--don't let there be a lot of "dead time." You seem to be handling that OK.
As far as my present day abilities, I'm older than I used to be--isn't everyone? I'm 67 and now swallow my pride and ask my sons for help when I'm confronted with things that I used to do easily by myself 30 years ago.

I could still do it but it's now sort of a "....the torch is passed..." kind of thing. And I'm OK with it. I still have plenty of things to do that I can do myself without help. I'm not an invalid--just a little slower and maybe wiser than I used to be.
