That's funny, Gary O, you sound like my hubby's grandfather. That's what he did...gave the nurses heck and they would threaten him with "no fudgesicle " or whatever they had for a snack.What are you going to do when you can no longer live alone?
If they haul me off, I'm gonna take full advantage
Gonna play a bit of grabass with whatever comely nurse tends me
Cop a dementia plea
'Oh'..... 'Where am I?'.....'thought you were my wife'
I LIKE him!my hubby's grandfather
Same for me here Falcon...guess I should count my blessings even tho my son has lots of issues that are hard to deal with but he's slowly working them out and getting his driver's license back after ten years...I doubt if I'll ever live alone. One of my adult sons is living with me here. And I like the arrangement.
I don't believe that I'll be "taken home." It will simply be death...an escape from having to suffer a life without my reason for living.Nautilus, are you sure you would have nothing to live for? Maybe a little extra time to find yourself? You have worth and purpose still left until you are taken home.
Nautilus, I understand your line of thought, if Sweetie goes I would not have a reason to exist and my family have all moved away and I will never live in a nursing home.We've been married 50 years. Financially, we're in good shape. I will almost certainly die first so my wife will have what she needs. However, she is a cancer survivor...or so they say. It's possible that it could return. My wife is my life and I'm a quality of life person. She goes, we go. I mean it.
YESSSSZZZZ!!!!!!:drinking: ..............
I was just thinking of that!!! I'm quiet.Hope one of you people adopt me
That's deep Nautilus.... And I do get it!!!We've been married 50 years. Financially, we're in good shape. I will almost certainly die first so my wife will have what she needs. However, she is a cancer survivor...or so they say. It's possible that it could return. My wife is my life and I'm a quality of life person. She goes, we go. I mean it.
They are the ones who didn't kill themselves when they had the chance.I wonder how many people in nursing homes once said, "They will never put me in a nursing home."
Yes.I wonder how many people in nursing homes once said, "They will never put me in a nursing home."
My point exactly.They are the ones who didn't kill themselves when they had the chance.
A LOT!!!I wonder how many people in nursing homes once said, "They will never put me in a nursing home."
There's always a choice. For me, if living were to become simply existing, I'd make that choice while I was still able to do so.Yes.
But in some severe instances there's no other choice.
SOOOOO TRUE!!!Yes.
But in some severe instances there's no other choice.
For those with no family and mentally disabled... they have no choice in the matter.There's always a choice. For me, if living were to become simply existing, I'd make that choice while I was still able to do so.
And I’m not!I was just thinking of that!!! I'm quiet.
