[quote=Anonymous]FIL has always (since I've known him at least) been kind of morbid. I don't expect to change that. But now he's 81 and frankly, not doing great. He's in a lot of pain following a hip replacement surgery that seems to have gone poorly and at the moment has gout (that's been ongoing since he was much younger). Anyway, nothing that seems like it's going to kill him too soon. He's not taking pain medication though in what appears to be resignation to living out the rest of his life in absolute misery. It would almost be funny if it weren't true. MIL and Dh seem to be on board with his "plan" to just die soon, but it's driving me crazy to see him so uncomfortable. Has anyone dealt with an old grouch like this? He says he appreciates my concern (I researched some pain management centers in his area) but doesn't follow up. I know it's dh's responsibility but he's not the nosy, pushy type (like me!). And I also seem to be the only one who realized he might be with us for 10+ years more! WWYD in this position?[/quote]
