[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for all your replies. My parent is 73 and in Europe. My parent chose the treatment. I haven’t made any decisions for them. However, the recovery is grueling and staff is reaching out to me to “push parent” to try harder. I do suspect depression and exhaustion due to poorly controlled pain (I have no say in this and the pain might be due to the type of surgery). It has been heartbreaking for the entire family to watch my parent suffer and I am torn between continuing the recovery and what, at this moment, my parent seems to be asking for. The thing is, if we stop the recovery effort, they would linger in even worse pain. It seems like an impossible situation. Doctors claim there is a real chance for a full recovery.[/quote]
