Old-Timers
We got a text yesterday on the way home from Killington that Pete's step-Dad's alcohol, Alzheimer's, heart arrhythmia routine has been punched up to include a stroke. Remind me to look at a DNR for myself. Anyway late night holding hands with a pretty out of it old guy keeping him from getting agitated. Not a great scene. We know how this ends but not how much time modern medicine will prop him up for be it hours or years.
