[quote kj][quote Black Landlord]I work part time in a nursing home, and have worked closely with a few folks recently who have just gotten to the point where they can't function outside of such an environment.
They're with it enough to get frustrated by their decline, and at times have the insight to know they have Alzheimer's. Not sure how anyone can joke about this.
Yep, daily for me. Death is funnier. kj.
My husband died with ALZ. I really am for euthanasia with dementia and ALZ. I, too, work with nursing homes with these sad sad cases...I pray it will not happen to me. (altho some of you probably think I'm headed down that slippery slope)
