DNR or Full Code for Resuscitation?

I heard someone say, 'Stop buying things that make your life easier.' This quote came to mind when I read about the lift chair. I really think life is meant to be hard. You have to struggle, to strive. It is the only way to stay strong while slowly slipping away a day at a time.

For sure. especially when there are things even old people can do with gentle exercising to strengthen their bodies. When my mother-in-law came to live with us, within a week, she was getting in and out of all of our chairs without any help. Sadly, the only thing we couldn't fix was her getting up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and falling. I slept on the floor in front of her bed, kept records and measured her intake/output and made adjustments. Surely it would have worked for some people. but not her. She was quite the character! Caring for our elderly family is so rewarding and such a blessing.
