Laree, ((((Huggs))))) My grandfather was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in '97, at the time he was 85. He did very well on his diet and exercise plan and lived another happy 4 years until cancer took him from us. He was so cool, when I rode early in the mornings he'd go out to the farm and awlk the pastures while I rode. Sometimes he'd go to my out of county 4-H meetings so I wouldn't have to drive home alone. All my friends loved him. And, my grandmother lived with dementia. Her dementia began in the early 90's and she passed away 3 years ago from a blood clot. She lived at home and lived a relatively independent life until the last few years when she developed other problems and became wheelchair bound. I still miss her everyday. My family moved in with my grandparents in '87 to take care of one of my dad's older sisters who never married and had a brain tumor. We lived with them until they died.
