[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I know it doesn't end well ... I just was wondering if the end would be a long slow painful torture or more of a short, quick and more merciful thing. Not that either option is good, mind you.[/quote] As PP mentioned, it really depends. For my FIL, the decline from functional to not was inside of a few years, but now it is just a slow holding pattern of misery and falls and denial. We've been in a pattern of one very serious "this is it" hospitalization about every 6 months. Sometimes it is internal -- pneumonia, organ shutdown, etc. -- other times it is related to blackout falls. So, in reality, a bad enough fall could kill him quickly, but it hasn't.[/quote]
