  Thanks man.

  I just wasn’t prepared for all these things to hit at once. Vision (and the shitload of drugs), teeth / food, physical mobility (and the risk of falls), hearing, memory, depression. It’s hard to know what’s feeding into each problem.

  Used to visit my gran all the time at a ‘well to do’ nursing home and I really didn’t like what I was seeing. The thought of it for the ol’ girl scares me as there’s a bit of complex care involved and I’m not sure they (or she) would cope and decline would be rapid.

  I suppose age comes for us all, if we’re lucky or unlucky.

    I can understand that man. It’s a lot to take in at once.

    The reluctance to go into an care place I completely understand. I hope things improve so she can stay at home ❤️
