You're doing yourself an injustice!
A.D. strikes primarily at the caregiver. Were your father in a position to
decide, I'm quite sure that he would prefer to be in a nursing home than knowing
the burdon his sickness is placing on his loved ones.
I am in that position, and I certainly don't want my wife to become a slave to
this disease. There is no need for there to be 2 victims. The personal cost of
my wife caring for me at home is not worth the difference it's going to make to
me.
