I will give you an answer based on experienc. We are 83 & 84 yrs old My wife has been in a nursing home for eight years I joined her two years ago. She suffers from NPH a condition of the brain caused by the build up of fluid in the brain. She had shunt put in her brain to maintain the proper level of fluid once this is istalled it requires no attention. The degree of recovery depends on the damage that the brain has suffered. Rehabilitation is necessary.I lived on thee farm with the son I had both knees replaced and just just plan crippled up. I had a electric wheel chair that could get me around thr farm. We eould load up and go to implement shows, Took cattle to major shows,Whent to convention together. We had always been together and made decisions togther. We had made a promise to each other many years ago.TO TAKE CARE OF LOVE HONOR AND CHARISE TILL DEATH DO US PART. Was I doing this? Finally the son who wa the baby of thr clan adnitted to his sisters he was worryed he would find me in heap some where or in the house because I could noy get up. So they had went to the Nursing Home where Mom was at to see what was possible. Sure I would be welcomed, We would share the same room..They would take are of all my medicine and see that I given it on time. I would have a regular bath. Three meals a day plus the consultation of thr helth nurses. My wife agreed she would like to have me there Even though she had good days and bad ones. So they came to me with the plan and how it would be affordable. WHAT THE $%^&*()(*& ARW YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME? Then I cooled down. OK I will go to be with Margery.
From previous posts you know how unhappy I was with coditions. I was ashamed I had ssubmitted Margery to this for those years. I wrnt on a one man cusade to do what I could to straighten things up. I become a member of the Residebt Consul. I got to know the Ombudsman with State of Health and I contacted the State Department of health. They had always taken good care of Margery. I digured out she had attapted to living in the system.
So I would say Make sure of thr home yo are considering. Check with some of the residence family. The health care I have reiceived from the Nursing staff has been excellent. It still take some ajustnebt, as any life change does. Margery and I are happy. If they have always been Happy Together keep them together.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
