Thank you. It will happen. I really appreciate your "atta girl." My daughters, sister-in-law, everyone has my back and would be totally supportive when I finally make the move. My mother- in -law lived to 93 with mild dementia. No one can predict the future, but $ to cover the years ahead for both of us must be considered. My friend put her husband into a nursing home at the behest of Hospice. They told her that he had two weeks to live. Her husband lived for 15 months at $15,000 per month and wiped out his life savings.

One never knows what the future holds. Our sons have invited us to live with them but I don’t want to put our daughter in laws to go through this. They all have their own crosses to bear. They don’t need any extra. We had the same pt said a trip back to see his sister(1000 miles car trip) would be good. He enjoyed seeing members of his family. I was exhausted. Was told to get someone in to help & for me to get out. Only thing if I am not around he becomes anxious looking for me. Fortunately he is not a wanderer. Yes it is difficult it was how he was doing his finances before being diagnosed that was bad. His philosophy changed to don’t worry we’ll pay this later. Credit cards were out of control.
