hey hun, I'm so sorry:( there are places, like Heritage where my grandmother was for a while, that are half nursing homes and half apartment sort of places. basically your grandmother would have 24 hour nurse care, but would also be able to socialize and see lots of other people. meals and such are set, but it's sort of the best of both worlds cause she gets extra care and people around. The people at heritage were great. Alzheimer's is tough, my grandmother had it as well. on a sort of wrongly funny note, she also had osteoporosis so one day she was limping and they had her checked out and it turns out her hip was broken. apparently she fell out of bed, because of the osteoporosis her hip cracked,but because of the alzheimer's she forgot that it happened so didn't tell anyone. i hope everything works out hun ::Hug::
Wow, that is really hard. I'm sorry. No one wants to see their loved ones put into a nursing home, but that's so hard to not do becuase families have so much else going on that it's hard to be a 24 hour care for that person. Either way, it sucks.
And I know how crappy it is to see someone you love turn into something different. That's the worst feeling in the world.
*hugs* I'm always willing to listen if you ever want to talk about this :-)
*hugs* I'm sorry if I annoy you. I enjoyed our walk on the beach the other day though... but I know it's hard to be around other couples when you're missing Carl. I had to miss Dave for a long time, last year

No you don't annoy me. I think its more of the trying to get things together and figure out what we are doing etc etc than anything else. Whereas if I'm by myself I can change my mind or whatever you know? I don't know I'm just being werid and lazy basically.
I loved our walk on the beach the other day. it was awsome...we should do it again soon :)
