The logistics of that are involved. This man needs 24/7 care. I can go out to the store for an hour if he seems okay. That's about all the alone time he can be left. He can't get up from a chair and get into the bathroom without help. To be away from him, I'ld have to have caregivers in place around the clock. Not so easy to arrange. I never know when a carsgiver will call out sick. The onky real break I get us when he goes into a hospital, rehab or nursing home. I felt better when he was in a facility. I'ld visit him daily, but go home to my own place every night.

But there would be other problems. He would fall. No place watches him as closely as I do. He got a pressure sore. He got raging urinary tract infections. He wouldn't be kept clean. He lost weight. He would be sitting alone among others with more severe dementia. These nursing homes are basically orphanages for old people.

I feel unwell today.
