My eyeball doc tells me it's in my near future, but my problem is that I'm a rubber. I'd rip those lenses off the first spring due to itchy eyeballs from all the pollen floating around.
Yep, 10K a month for a hard bed, absolutely shitty food, and the minimum of care or attention. They left my mother unattended. She couldn't walk. She got up and fell. Broke her arm. With the dementia, she couldn't remember why her arm hurt so bad. Instead of chilling, she'd move it and howl in pain, not knowing why it hurt. I wanted to sue the place back to the stone age but my brother said it would be futile.
These nursing homes are just wrinkle farms. The are owned by a conglomerate that manages many of them, often in multiple states. They're profit motivated. They could give two shits about providing any quality of life for their patients. They buy shit food in bulk and hire minimum wage workers that really don't want to be there.
I told the Pullet that if I ever go that way, put some newspapers on the kitchen table and get the gun cleaning kit out, set me in a chair, put my finger on the trigger of the 45 after she'd removed the magazine, and end my suffering. It would be the old "forgot the one in the chamber" story.
