By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

I am much more cynical now.
Donald talking to sheep, get it?
"You have a dnr, your wife is screaming 'save my husband!', and if the patient could answer, the paramedics are there, because???!!!!
Serious situations require serious humor, put in a way that serious circumstances can be planned for ahead of time. I appreciate your humor, Gershen.
No, really, on a more serious note, don't you think a perfect husband should be married to a perfect wife, or does that just not happen?
Love joking around with all of you! Think now that I am in over my head and regret playing with Windy, cause there will be hell to pay, he'll have a really great snappy comeback, and I already feel guilty for asking my husband for help, now that I just cannot do it all myself.
As a wife, I never used behavior modification because I found that asking a man to do anything he doesn't want to do results in a really messed up job with broken things and other damages. Men are really smart too.
I wonder if your wife can adapt it to elders.
Come to think of it, I'd like a Neighbor Compliance Drug as well.
But you're right - caregiving makes you appreciate the small, every day things.
Wait! What is this thread anyway? Ok... Had to scroll up to look.
Caregiving has changed my life by appreciating times like this when for a few moments, I'm not thinking about caregiving. But now I'm worried about moms cardio test......One more beer won't hurt.
I guess that will be next on the list of questions paramedics ask. I can see it all now. "Are you comfortably fending for yourself without being a burden to others?"
Sorry I shouldn't joke about this. Humor is what gets me through life.
Each of our FILE OF LIFE (written in red), reads: " I W A N T T O L I V E !!! "
But then, it's too soon to tell.
For me, that would be a very relaxed way to go. I could put together a whole movie of my life of times when I remember getting a massage at various places and in different styles with the closing one being a massage style that I've discovered rather recently. And it is like they say to die for.
The Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy puts the Swedish Deep Tissue Massage Therapy style to shame.
I would write the closing scene with my getting such a massage and at that point where you usually reach the deepest feeling of relaxation; all of the warmth of your body goes to your core before feeling new warmth spreading throughout your body and in that deep serene state just passing away. Now that would be something.
Sounds like a movie in which Hercule Poirot or Jessica Fletcher could star.
There was a cooking show by that name - the chef was Marcel de Saulnier and the desserts he created were out of this world.
