Having an Aging Parent

Some people age slowly and some people struggle losing one ability at a time. If you're lucky you have agood family doctor. My dad has a good family doctor.

A few years ago Dad's doctor recommended he do an end of life plan. I went with him as you have to bring a family member to witness. Today I called to make sure it's on record. Dad just got out of hospital and went back in only a few days later.

Aging has not been fun for him. I don't see him often so I really notice hes changes. His hearing is still correctable using hearing aids but his vision is mostly gone. He's very negative (who can blame him) and anxious about all his loss of ability. Sad because he's a very social person. Once he stabilizes from this we'll get a plan in place to improve quality of life for him and his wife.

His family doctor is in total agreement. Don't wait for an event to find you and your doctor aren't on the same page.
