The world is short one of the good ones today,
My last grandad died this morning.

He was 90 and 2 weeks ago he was building an addition on
my uncles house.

Sorry for your loss, but that is the way to go rather than spending
years in a nursing home. WW
That's not the way I want to go, I saw my father-in-law take 8 months to
die, little by little bit, in a nursing home. We tried to care for him
in our home over a weekend. Just about killed our backs lifting him up
from bed so he could go to the bathroom. We just couldn't do it for more
than the weekend. Now I am in my 70th year, and hope that I go fast.
Fast is hard on the survivors but at least it is over and done without
guilt and remorse.



It took SWMBO over a year to recover from a ruptured disc from
"helping" her mom out of her wheel chair. And there were trained staff
at the nursing home to help. Sometimes instinct is harmful.
