or not, there’s just so many different experiences and no way to know. My father always said “do what’s best” but by the time he declined through “gets tired” and “sometimes he can’t think” he was solidly in “imaginary thinking and fixated on it” so you aren’t having a conversation at all. So he’s not oriented to real life, but certain that he is.

Nevertheless, he was totally fixated on going directly home, sure that we had conspired, furious with my mom, who was heartbroken at his anger. I had to tell the people tranferring him to hospice to put him in restraints. It was just so traumatic, but we had to move him anyway to save her. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
