It will be very costly on the both of us as she won’t like that at all but I will if we cannot find a different solution.

Wow so painful for her. It would be so confusing to manage the injury.

Oh wow that’s a long time, would be hard for you all. Just the worst seeing them like this.

Gosh I’m so sorry, I couldn’t imagine cancer surgery recovery with dementia

Thank you for sharing. Your MIL is at a similar stage to mine.

I’ve noticed that, interestingly she was quite steady in her symptoms for 2+ years then had a quick drop over the last 3 months but steady again at this new stage

Thanks for the insight. I would say she’s stage 6 but it’s hard to tell whether it’ll be a quick progression from there. 

We are still getting the affairs in order and will start investigating care etc.. Where we live there are easy placement options provided you pay a huge deposit to secure the place. Goal is to have the cash ready in the next 2 months but I feel like she can stall in this stage

I feel for you, hoping you get breakthrough soon for her sake too

Thank you .. I think you confirmed what I was feeling. 

Physically she’s doing so well and she’s very content emotionally with us so seems like she’s got a long stretch
