Obviously, medical advances and technological advances are going to eventually extend our lives.

Think there's anything left of her corpse that they could dig up and date?

In a paper published on the preprint server bioRxiv – which we must note has not yet been peer reviewed – Dr Newman argues many of the people who are supposed to be 110 or older are, well, not that old.
Scientists either failed to pick up errors in their databases or turned a blind eye to them, he says.
...
The mummified corpse of Sogen Kato, supposedly Tokyo’s oldest person at 111, was found in his apartment in 2010. He had been dead for 32 years. His granddaughter was arrested on suspicion of continuing to collect his pension.
...
Dr Newman says many American states used to record high numbers of people living over 110. When those states brought in high-quality birth certificates between 1800 and 1900, suddenly there were very few supercentenarians.
I've never thought of that. Seems like a good way to be 75 and get in on Mom's awesome widow's pension when she dies at 90. Before DNA and verified birth certificates and "not allowed to have a backyard family burial plot" laws, that is.
"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Labral tear in my right hip. have been trying to do PT for it, and it's been awful. Got an MRI to confirm, will have to have hip surgery. But general prognosis for surgery is very positive.
