When we're old...

Proudgrammy, I love you babe. Don't let any of those babysleevers upset you. You deserve rethpect, wait, I have to put my false-teeth in, respect is what I meant to say. You are one of the most encouraging people on this site and if people take offense at your comments then they have NO RESPECT.

They won't feed you more than you will eat. Before they place a peg tube or J tube I am sure they would have seen what your stomach looks like.A medical history is taken upon admittance to a nursing home so your surgery would be disclosed at that point.

Well... there you have it. I am half your age' date=' and I worry about random things. But I guess since you'll likely be in a home a lot sooner than me, you can let us all know what it's like to be gavage- fed purée until you puke. I won't laugh though. However, I might say... 'too bad she didn't luck out and die at 60'. Really do love ya too, hun.[/quote']

Wow, danielle325 probably one of the most disrespectful posts I have ever seen. Can't take a joke? Put your claws back in, please!

This is the first time I've had a thread receive anything other than supportive comments on this site. But, there's a first time for everything, I guess! Haha... I just didn't think it would be from a couple of 'sweet' older ladies. Maybe youre right...i'm probably misreading the comments. Maybe it's one of those 'tone' things that can be misinterpreted so easily online. Maybe they'll come up with a sollution for that someday before I luck out and die at 90. Long after you've 'lucked out'. No disrespect intended. Sincerely, your babysleever.

First, I simply refuse to grow old. (I'm already 243 years old, just ask my kids)

Second, I won't be going to any home.

Third, If I have to be fed, I will go out like a true Viking... "and my death.....it will be glorious!" (Evel Knievel quote)

rock on proudgrammy!

Believe me, in most nursing homes, If you don't eat, they just take your food away. Their is little concern for the nutritional intake of the patient. Very rarely will they even attempt to feed patients who are slow or uninterested eaters.

Proud Grammy would never be disrespectful to anyone on here. She is being light hearted and kindling.

What she is saying is that at such a young age the OP is having a lot of anxiety about this issue. I work on staying in the present moment all the time. When I focus on the future I miss out in today.

A joke is a joke, and I have a pretty decent sense of humor. I do. I just didn't 'get' that one. Sorry. I run through different scenarios in my mind and just wondered about the scenario of getting old with a sleeve, since it's inevitable. Anyway... Thank you to those that offered helpful advice. Feel free to unsubscribe to what turned out to be a ridiculous feed.... hahaha....

Maybe you intended 'no disrespect', but sadly, you did achieve it.

Don't cry and don't stress. Those that matter know how caring you are and that you said nothing wrong. It just seems that there are people on here these days who feel they need to prove something about themselves. Sadly they are proving that they are really not very nice. You have already proved what a lovely, caring person you are.
