I want to say that I used to be jealous that my husband could drink unlimited quantities of Diet Coke, many sweets, and much fast food. He never excercised and didn’t use his sleep apnea machine. Well now he’s in a nursing home, his toes and feet are curled up, he can’t move himself, it takes a lift to get him out of bed and can only say a few words. It’s heart wrenching to see him this way. He can’t even scratch himself when he itches. He was constipated and kept saying he has a bomb in his ass until they finally realized the problewhen I became concerned. It is a 5 star nursing home. There are not many in Orange County rated this high. Still, they only take care of bathing feeding personal hygiene medication and general  needs. The staff is kind and caring but has basically no time for socializing with the patients.i rarely see patients visited by friends and family.  My mom has Alzheimer’s. She lives in a Board and Care with good people taking care of her . But they have limited time. My mom and husband love to see me as I visit regularly throughout the week. By the way ,they both isolated themselves a good part of their life.. My mom had a few falls a a real bad one about 2 years. Sadly there was nothing I could of done.I think this is a good reason to be a brain warrior and prevent these things from happening to us. What do you think
