February Decision

Many of you have been to homes that take care of patients with Dementia and you know that it can be an awful feeling thinking that your loved one will be in one of these someday. I spent several hours last Friday touring a facility and visiting with the staff. I was pretty good until we went on the tour. It is one of the saddest places to visit. I applaud those who work in such facilities.
It has been on my mind lately, but after last Friday I have decided not to think about it, or worry about it for now. It's not the right time. I will look at the situation again in February, but not now. This will give me time to continue looking at facilities for the future. Thanks to all of you who have encouraged me to begin the process.
Jan's condition is about the same and the only problem that may be raising it's head is her willingness to accept instructions. Sometimes you have to remind her to do certain things and now she seems more willing to have a confrontation. Which if that grows or gets worse, I can't handle that. She has almost no gray hair and if you have been to a facility you know everyone in there has gray hair.
