I Would Like To Experience....

[gness]

but just for one hour and no longer.......how it feels to be a ninety two year old alzheimer's sufferer.....long after the confusion and memories only of long ago have gone.....

To lie in a bed year after year no longer recognising family and friends ....unable to speak any longer..... being fed, toileted and washed....

I sit by the bed and look at my mother.....she sometimes looks back but there's nothing there.....

I just cannot understand what her thoughts are....there must be some surely.... a mind can't just be blank?

I'm not being gloomy.....I'm puzzled I suppose.....x

Yes...wouldn't harm any one of us to have a plug like that.....x

[naomi24]

Indeed it wouldn't. If only ....

I agree, I would also put my name on the list to be plugged in, I think it would be a deeply unpleasant experience but would certainly make us a lot more understanding of those afflicted with mental disorders.

I have answered this post and maybe it should be put to bed cos if you know for the one hour it would upset you and if you didn't know that would upset you too. Sorry Gness XXXX
