[quote=Anonymous]Something similar happened to my father. One week he was living rather independently. The next his body shut down. Not eating drinking. Eventually because he just couldn’t swallow. Loss of all bodily functions. Walking, talking, heart rhythm, blood sugars. And underlying illness caused brain swelling, underlying illness was treated he eventually recovered. He pulled through with massive medical intervention and rehab, but he was also 68 so theoretically many years ahead of him. If he had been in his 90s he may have opted to just go into respite care as without intervention and he would have died fairly quickly. [/quote]
