Today I had to call and ask for help for my grandparents who are 76 and 86. They just moved to town this year and my grandfather's health is declining rapidly. My grandmother is being quite stubborn and is determined that she can look after him on her own and does not need help!
So now after having left the issue alone for many months she has finally resigned to being okay with someone coming to wash the windows. It is my hope that when I take a worker to their house this week after listening to the nurse she may be more open to accepting personal and respite care for Grandpa.
It is very sad to see them needing help now after year of watching them live in a rugged rural area running a farm and mill and being perfectly indepedent.
I hope all goes well this week.

It must be tough to go from independent to dependent. I have such respect for those people who made our country what it is today.
