From our many conversations, I know you're plugged in to many sources of information and can discern what's legit and what's jive. I'm certainly keeping an open mind. Fast forwarding, my stress isn't going to be reduced. As my wife declines, I'll have a heavier load to carry. I know it's not possible to care for her indefinitely and even if it was, my emotional and physical health would continue to be compromised. She could live into her 90s and I'd be dead. It's the worst of the worst. Me with untreatable bipolar, her with rapidly progressing Alzheimer's. I always go back to the words of Robert Louis Stevenson: "Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well." He was sick from childhood and kept looking for a place he could comfortably live with his compromised health. A kindred spirit.
