Re: What to try next
Thanks, Ren!
I've...uh...heard a few things, myself. Once when I was visiting my mom in a small town hospital. She had a kidney problem when she was visiting me; then went back home, and recovered.
While I was visiting her, I overheard a nurse speaking loudly to an elderly patient in long-term care.
At the time, I couldn't think of an alternative. How could that poor woman be treated differently?
I have dreaded the idea of becoming that feeble...unable to choose my own way.
It's not until recently, and realizing that the government care systems really want to support those who keep themselves well and create ways to help other seniors, that I suddenly saw an alternative...that well seniors share.
I haven't written it here yet, but I have been thinking that a series of questionaires, for people who help themselves, could form a body of information that would not only assist government (or a seniors' care department), but begin a standard for individuals having to find the best protocols for themselves.
The public seniors care system we have leaves too much responsibility and burden on the few who take it on as a job of work, don't you think?
It's a no-win situation, as I see it. It MUST change. Better, I think, to replace it with a system that will work better.
You, yourself, are working toward your own well-being. No doubt you see a different scenario for your latter days.
That's the resource we are building...that we can share to good effect.
We must try.
