HEADS UP -- IT'S COMING!!
This is what all of us 70 to 80 year-olds
have to look forward to!!

This is something that happened at an assisted living
center. The people who lived there had small apartments but
they all ate at a central cafeteria One morning one of
the residents didn't show up for breakfast so my wife
went upstairs and knocked on his door to see if everything
was OK She could hear him through the door and he
said that he was running late and would be down shortly,
so she went back to the dining area.

An hour later he still hadn't arrived so she went back up
towards his room but found him on the stairs. He was
coming down the stairs but was having a hard time.
He had a death grip on the hand rail and seemed to have
trouble getting his legs to work right.

She told him she was going to call an ambulance but he told
her no, he wasn't in any pain and just wanted to have his
breakfast. So she helped him the rest of the way down the
stairs and he had his breakfast.

When he tried to return to his room he was completely unable
to get up even the first stair step so they called an ambulance for him.

A couple hours later she called the hospital to see how he was doing.

The receptionist there said he was fine, he just had both of his legs in
one side of his boxer shorts.

I am sending this to my children so that they don't sell the house before
they know all the facts.
