I Will Off Myself Before I Get Too Old

I've posted about my grandmother going into a home before on this board. Here is a little update to what's been going on.

My grandmother was placed into a home where costs have skyrocketed from $100 a day to between $400 and $600 a day because of her care requirements. I spent a total of $75,000 to keep her cared for and her home going. The home is now the property of the facility she's been placed at due to lack of funds. I sold my home and moved into her house, so I'm being pushed out the door and will be 33 living at my parents house for a few months .

I gladly did this for my grandmother because she took me in when I needed a home at the age of 15/16. She never asked me to, it was all voluntary on my part. So, the fact that I'm broke was of my choosing. Broke until some checks roll in and a few months of living with mommy, lol.

When I get old and there is the first sign of my requiring care that I can't provide myself, I'm putting my mouth over the barrel. No one should have to go through what I just did to care for me, I won't let that happen!

I wish we, as a country, gave our elderly better care than we do. If anyone deserves free and competent care it's our children and our elders.
