Alzheimers Ii

I'm going to share a truth...that will shock you my friends. It's about when my Grandma...when she reached her bitter end. She died in a hospital...she had Alzheimer's disease. But that's not what killed her...you'll find this hard to believe. When I got to her side...she was hungry and scared. She weighed 60 lbs...there was no food anywhere. The hospital staff...was feeding everyone on the floor. But they wouldn't feed grandma...they skipped right past her door. I then told the nurse...there must be an error. She sent the doctor in...he said my uncle John had ordered this care. They stopped giving her water...her food to was now gone. There was no chance of her getting better...so she would just gently pass on. She was starving and thirsty...that's exactly how she died. Hunger pains and that thirst...her basic needs were denied. I hope he's forgiven...for this sin from her kid. I wonder if he regrets it...this evil thing that he did. *this happened 30 years ago I hope they have changed the law so hospitals can no longer do this to people*
