That generation is pretty tough.

My grandma is there too. Can get around OK but doesn't know who anyone is most days. She was a very strong independent woman I can't imagine she'd like living this way. I had a relative who completely lost it to Alzheimer's and lived for 17 yrs in the nursing home not knowing anyone. I'd never want to live nearly 20yrs not knowing who anyone or anything is.
