Driving back to my folk's house, my mom and I talked about how our society has yet to get a grip on our ability to keep people's bodies alive when no person seeing how my grandmother and the others up in her locked, third floor 'memory impaired neighboorhood' live wants to end up there. My mother said that at this point, pneumonia would be a kindness.
I know that feeling quite well. Luckily for us, my grandfather can generally recognise us when we introduced ourselves - he's lost his eyesight. That does not make his condition any better, though.
