Hunni that’s disturbing reading about your friend - I have a definite exit stage left plan but have made my grandaughter promise me if I head down the slippery slide with complete oblivion she will ensure I get the message .My Mum wanted to go in a rest home at 99 - she wanted the company of old people she wanted to cheat at cards etc - she absolutely refused to live with any of us - we were very lucky because she was 99 and had just had her gallbladder removed the rest home owned by the Masonic lodge took her as they thought she wouldn’t be around long so they gave her one of their respite units initially - her care was brilliant - we were allowed to take food extras in to Mum but no way was she allowed to share with other patients - they followed all the regulations religiously and it showed .Robie supplies a lot of rest homes with potato flakes as well as many top restaurants - there is a strict protocol for food supplied to the rest homes because of product recall - if they do get a recall notification the first thing they do is check if any has been supplied to rest homes as it could be deadly for a compromised elderly person .An elderly couple a few doors down have just sold their home and are heading into the rest home Mum was in - it’s sad she is fit as a fiddle but he is a large man and she can no longer cope with his failing health
My brother gathered up his grandchildren and their cousins including my grandchildren - 2 of them are already living in Oz one of his daughters married a young Ozzie doctor who has to initially practice rurally so My brother took all the cousins up to build a drs practice and a law office in a place with about ten ccs in the bane that has completely escaped me - she is a lawyer - so the ten of them have had an absolute ball - he is hoping it will be remembered as the time they all got together - my young foster grandson was over the moon when he was included - these photos are very un pc and irresponsible but he was headlines in the newspaper at 18 months - never supposed to walk again as every bone was broken and woukd never show any empathy the experts said .To me these photos are just pure joy - the pool is above the waterfall had to blob out his face
