But I would like to try. It's hard to keep away from processed foods however! xoxo<br /><br />Sybil, I worry about those who are shut in and have no families to care for them. They will end up in homes I wager, and that will cost the Government more in the long run. It's just so sad. This is how neglect starts. It's just so very sad. We all know that the longevity of a person decreases once they go into care. Allowing these people to stay at home helps to keep them alive longer and affords them a much more enjoyable life. It saddens me that we live in a society where our elderly are just not valued by anyone, and especially by the Government. Shame on them. Im sure you were a great Warden! Poor Lynn and her fence! Thankfully we didn't get much of the storm up here in Chester, except for rain, of course!xoxo<br /><br />The prospect of getting old is a bit scary Monique! I have seen my parents go down hill these past years and with my mom have seen how quickly it can happen. The hearts ARE cute. Tasty too! xoxo<br /><br />My mom was paying a fortune each year for snow removal Pam! Thankfully now she has my sister's partner Dan to do it all. With a population that is rapidly aging, and the amount of baby boomers who are now getting elderly, caring for them isn't a problem which is going to go away in a hurry. I am not elderly yet, at least I don't feel elderly and I am afraid of what will happen when I actually am! xoxo<br /><br />Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-12439105108653990142016-02-10T14:57:56.005+00:002016-02-10T14:57:56.005+00:00The time will come for all of us when we will no l...The time will come for all of us when we will no longer be able to care for ourselves or live how we want. I've been very thankful this winter that we've had very little snow. Other years I've had to shovel the snow a lot. I'm getting older and wonder just how long I'll be able to do that. Good to be prepared for the time when it comes.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-42569503849664701962016-02-10T14:50:01.800+00:002016-02-10T14:50:01.800+00:00Did you ever think we would think this way?

As you know that was my wee job when I moved down to Bath ..a part time warden...the tenants were checked every day we either had to see them in person or by a previously decided sign...now that is all finished as you say ...not sure what they do there now...but it was such an ideal way to house the older folks I have no idea why they changed...after all the tenants still paid indirectly for the service. Down here in Box it's the same they have taken all the wardens away they can pull the cord but at a cost ....however I think it is a very wise decision for you andTod to start thinking of moving to a kind of support housing in Wales .but only if you could take Mitzie...I think they are mostly let by housing associations and rents are higher but you would get help with that I'm sure....Hope you are having a nice day. It is better here now after the terrible storms Sunday Monday ...no damage done around me but poor Lyn had her fence blown down...xxx<br />Sybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516012178494813281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-55334937814415705232016-02-10T13:00:33.545+00:002016-02-10T13:00:33.545+00:00I agree on the Paleo diet!

She has done very well. We really enjoyed out time with them and Tony was rising to the office of care giver very well! He even did us all lunch! xoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-55356039050473804182016-02-10T07:41:16.392+00:002016-02-10T07:41:16.392+00:00Good morning Marie,
Having to pay for assistance ...Good morning Marie,<br /><br />Having to pay for assistance call outs is normal here and a scandal I think. They have independent units where dad lives and they have call out fees. Do not get me started. I do understand the needing to face the change of moving to a more secure place. Some as so small though.<br /><br />I think many people do better with a second joint replacement. They certainly know what to expect. It is huge surgery.<br /><br />God bless your day.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.com
