Well, what else can you do in that situation?What you are saying is that he has resigned himself to no longer thrive but just to exist? A eternal version of "It is what it is?" — ArguingWAristotleTiff
Not surprising, this seems to be the trend in most parts of the world. My grandfather had a stroke this summer (he is 91 years old), so he had the unfortunate necessity of spending time in hospital. In third world countries though, you can get better treatment - if you give the dollars to the right people. But not much better. It is only for the short duration of giving the $3 - then they give you a shower. To change the catheter - another $3. To change diapers - well, another $3. Not to mention that the whole place smells of uncleaned urine. Some people don't have even the $3 to give - so then their relatives are pretty much left to die there :( From my experience, and seemingly from yours too, these are not good places to leave sick people in.Waiting 5 hours for a diaper change at 75 is not the way it should be. Two showers a week even when my Dad had 5 straight days of a stomach illness is unacceptable. — ArguingWAristotleTiff

I was always curious about this actually. How do you deal with the parents of your husband/wife? My first girlfriend's parents hated me, so it would have been strange to get married to her - I don't know how one should respond in such cases.She is still here.... :roll: — ArguingWAristotleTiff
