Something that happened with my late FIL.
Things were going downhill, dementia (probably Lewey Body) was taking hold.
He became physically ill and went into the hospital. There they would not let him walk for "fear of him falling". Once that happened, be forgot how to walk and never got out of a wheelchair again. Which meant only a nursing home to care for him.
Watching my in laws both pass from Dementia was bad. My parents had died from lung cancer and liver failure. I want to go like my Grandmothers: one dropped dead out in her rose garden, the other just after dinner before she did the dishes.

Sitting here watching my mom sleep. Hospice told us she has a few days at most. I feel so lonesome.
