Thanks for sharing Denis. My dad is going through similar stuff. He turns 90 in 2 months. He had double knee surgery to allow him to walk, ended up in a fall and became partially paralysed. A strong guy his whole life and he has been in a wheelchair for 4 years.

Fortunately, he lives in my neighborhood and I swing over a couple of times a week.

My wife's father died last December and he was similar - large family, farmer at times, strong guy. Died from being bed-ridden+cancer+broken hip

We may spar in PARF, but we all have aging parents and family. It is sad.
