harley, do you know what kind of assisted living they are talking about? here there are graduated assisted living, depending on the amount of of care you need or want. or don't want. many of these are really adult living communities. many states have banned them because it was descriminating against those with children. so they add the amenities of care and don't have to allow children. there are some that are like duplexes or quad houses. high rise apartment/townhouses with garages. they have full everything...kitchens, your own washer and dryer, either balconies or small porches with yards. but they also offer a dining room if you don't want to cook. have some type of medcial staff on duty. the amount of care depends on the what is needed. you can keep you indepenance. i had a very close friend move in to one. after 5 years she decided she didn't want to drive anymore and took the van with other residents to run her errands. she enjoyed not cooking all the time too. she is older than you. i know the situation is different. but if they are looking as more of a nursing type of facilty, there are other alternatives. you have rights harley. we are here to help. i wish i could do more.

I was not taking this subject lightly at all. I hope that anyone reading my reply above can see that.
As stated above, yes it is important to discuss this topic as a family before the word "forced" would come into the conversation. I take my leave of NeuroTalk.

Artist: Jim Morrison
Song: The End This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend The end of our elaborate plans The end of ev'rything that stands The end No safety or surprise The end I'll never look into your eyes again Can you picture what will be So limitless and free Desperately in need of some strangers hand In a desperate land Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain And all the children are insane All the children are insane Waiting for the summer rain There's danger on the edge of town Ride the king's highway Weird scenes inside the goldmine Ride the highway West baby Ride the snake Ride the snake To the lake To the lake The ancient lake baby The snake is long Seven miles Ride the snake He's old And his skin is cold The west is the best The west is the best Get here and we'll do the rest The blue bus is calling us The blue bus is calling us Driver, where you taking us? The killer awoke before dawn He put his boots on He took a face from the ancient gallery And he walked on down the hall He went into the room where his sister lived And then he paid a visit to his brother And then he walked on down the hall And he came to a door And he looked inside Father? Yes son I want to kill you Mother, I want to............. Come on, baby, take a chance with us Come on, baby, take a chance with us Come on, baby, take a chance with us And meet me at the back of the blue bus This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend The end It hurts to set you free But you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft lies The end of nights we tried to die This is the end |

Which path to be chosen when the choice lay between the struggle of already judgemental opinions stemming from exhausted minds, or the narrower path of undiscovered awakenings which has not been experienced enough of this hard life to place an honest value on it?
each window offers a different view. one familiar, yet is the the residue so built up on the the pane that it merely needs the cleansings from a wet rag full of tears and buffering of a dry rag full of wisdom to show the truth of the reality on the other side? and am i ready for the acceptance of this reality? the other view shows a side of myself that i have hidden from my own view, yet need to awaken and recapture so i can redirect the time left of my days. the value of precious moments are so much more evident in this view that it has become necessary to take the needed effort upon myself to discipline my independent desires and accept the uninevatable. but, not yet. i still am strong, i still am loud, and i still will fight. with each and every ounce of who i know i am.. i will fight. it is not time.. not yet
