Getting Old!

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great I would recommend it very highly.'
The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?'
The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What’s the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that's red and has thorns.'
'Do you mean a rose?'
'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Hey Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'

The part where I'm recovering from a grueling three year long episode with my younger cousin with whom I became sole caretaker. Almost helplessly watched him wither away because of Alzheimers until one morning his hospice person saw me standing in the doorway to his room and asked him if he knew me. He slowly turned my way and with a broad smile said, "sometimes" then went blank again.
He didn't wake up the next morning.
Never thought at the time but legal Euphanasia might be something to consider in this type situation.

My wife’s sister contracted the disease at 59. She’s now 69 and it’s been a slow decline until one year ago. She’s been in stage 7 during that time.
8 weeks ago she began to remember everyone. It was miraculous until last week when she started to decline again, but this time ever so rapidly. It’s almost as if she began to remember things again to say goodbye. This is a terrible disease.
I’m sorry for your loss.

I sympathize with anyone having to deal with dementia in any of its forms. However, I took this joke as simply being for "older" people who may resemble that remark. I, for one, intend to follow the simple advice given in this post although for the life of me I'm not sure that my wife Diana will respond to "Rose."

The wife of my last living cousin, abt 95 years old, received the following diagnosis from his hospitals doctors - Chronic dementia with behavioral disturbance . Sad.
