re: Tha Alzheimers drug that was a bust may not be a bust after all

If I ever get it I'm sailing my boat into a hurricane to save me and my family the pain of it.

I told my wife that if I was able and diagnosed, that I would just go somewhere to die peacefully instead of draining her and the kids to watch it happen.

If I am unable to just go I told her to wait until the first time I don't recognize her and then never come back. Have a service and be done. I'll be dead at that point anyway. When you get the call that my body finally kicked the bucket, have em burn me and bury the ashes.,

You got lucky. Good for you. I honestly hope it stays that way for your grandma. But not everyone is “pleasantly confused”. Seen people crying in their own shite, writing in their own shite, and chewing their own shite covered nails. Saw an old lady with a broken humerus. Broken in half. If you left her in a sling it was a legit choking hazard. She pulled off every splint. I can still hear those bone ends crackle against each other as she’d try to use that arm to pull at the side rails of her bed. She’d make a little wince and go “ewww” evertytime they’d crunch. She was to gone to register real pain or scream.

Not all are alike.
