I have a 90 yr old g-ma, who is in constant pain, doesn't leave the house, blind in one eye and her memory is like swiss cheese.
She is frustrated every day because she can't cook, clean, balance a check book, etc...but she's still aware enough to know she's not doing these things, but thinks it's just a temporary problem. She thinks she's only been "under the weather" for a few months, when in fact, it's been years and years.
She doesn't have a DNR, so if she has a heart attack or a stroke, she could be left worse than she is now after they shock her back to life.
Am I wrong to sometimes wish she would take too many vicoden when I'm out shopping, or have a heart attack just after I've stepped out, so that by the time I come back, she's gone???
I feel like I am loosing my mind here...no worries, I would never do anything to harm my g-ma...it's just thoughts.
