As someone who worked in long term care at skilled nursing facilities dementia is one of the scariest things in existence. It robs once proud folks of their dignity. I have realized I don’t won’t to live like that. Unless there are drastic medical advancements most people shouldn’t live into their late 80s or 90s:hubie: and that’s not solely because of dementia, failing bodies are just as scary. Make sure you’re living right now taking care of your bodies. I’ve had plenty of residents tell me humans shouldn’t be living this long . One who was 90 even told me she wished she had died around 77:francis:
I think we selfishly want our grandparents to live into their 100’s but most live a miserable life. Also if your folks are old in a skilled nursing facility make sure they have a do not resuscitate order on their chart. One of the worst things is having your 90 lbs granny thrown in the floor when her heart stops and the nurses have to break her chest doing chest compressions :snoop:
As a nation hell, as citizens of the world we should violently reject anti-intellectualism and push for scientific breakthroughs:ufdup:

Honestly if i have dementia or any type deteriorating mental condition like Alzheimer's. I'd wanna be gone before I was gone and still here.

his type of dementia is the scariest of them all, basically within the next 4 years he will die...but his brain will die before his body does.
his speech and decision making will be gone soon and eventually he will forget to swallow.


I wish his family stop recording him at this stage, they just need to make sure he has the best care with his remaining time.

That’s what I was dealing with with my grandmother

The super sadness still hasn’t hit me yet about her passing cause I’m more relieved she ain’t gotta go through that no more….no one should have to endure that

horrible news

One of my parents good friends has it only in mid 50s. She doesn't even remember her kids and has a full live in nanny to help do everything.

dag, it even makes you forget your kids and stuff, wouldn't wish that on anybody

last thing I saw Bruce in was Glass, my fav Bruce Willis movies are Die Hard, Die Hard With A Vengeance, and Unbreakable

terrible news
