[QUOTE="tonyJb, post: 1527004, member: 246471"] My father because he had Parkinsons was deemed by all doctors to have Alzheimer’s disease, he was fully conversant before the last episode in hospital. He was put into a nursing home because the hospital was fed up with his attendance with water infections. I had already battled with them for two years to reconise that he was hard of hearing and poor eye sight he needed a hearing aid, that they never put in, plus he had also undergone two cateract operations both with no follow up operations i.e. lasering the eyes, though they did give him major open heart surgery at the age of 80. Just picture the sceen, a hard pressed doctor rushes upto my dad and starts talking to him, he cannot hear half of what is going on, plus he cannot lip read, so his Alzheimer’s disease looks far worse than it was. The doctor eventualy said that it would be better for him to die, so after discussing it with him in one of his more lucidmoments I agreed, ( I imagined it would be like when you put an animal to sleep, where it takes seconds ) I don't know if it was they had fixed his heart but it took seven days of watching him suffer starving him to death. Any mention of me getting Alzheimer’s disease and I will join my friends who have incovenianced commuters jumping under trains.....I'm not going that way. [/QUOTE]
