Terrific to hear Brad, hope she gets back to 100% Not so much at my end. Soon help staff settle mine to nursing home. cheers, Ed Duncan pipe/cigar since '62 Ed...will that be a permanent situation, or is it still possible for her to come back home? My wife and I have promised each other that we will retire and die in our homes regardless of the situation...I want to be in my own home when I go and if that makes it sooner rather than later so be it. I've seen "retirement" homes too often for me to want to be there...just rather be gone than live in one. But that is just me, and should not influence anyone else...it is a very personal decision. |

One of the regrets of my life is that my father passed alone in a nursing home. I made sure that was not the case with my mother... she lived with us the last two years of her life and died surrounded by her children. |

I made sure that was not the case with my mother... she lived with us the last two years of her life and died surrounded by her children. Our only concern now...is that if we outlive my doggie...that will be the last...don't want us passing and have a dog missing us...the one we have we think, went through that and is the reason why she is the way she is now....panicky if she can't see my wife, afraid she has left and she will once again be alone. You did right by your mother, Martin...none of us want to be in a situation where we are living, not in our familiar surroundings. |

I have no idea how many more years I have left in this life.I'm almost 77 now.If I make it another 15 years I will be lucky.I suppose I will depart the scene before my wife and son do.I have been going over things with them trying to prepare them for life without me.I'm just thankful to have them as well as a bunch of friends in my life..I really don't want to end up in a nursing home,but I also don't want to end up being a burden to anyone.
