Nursing Home for Me?
When I am old and cranky and I can’t look after myself no more – please stick me in a nursing home. Now don’t get me wrong I don’t want this anytime soon – I think I have a good few years left before being put out to pasture, also some would argue that I may be cranky enough if not old enough. In addition I want one of these places where I have my own front door, living room, kitchen, etc – but with 24 hr help close by – more the type of thing I see in the UK nursing homes.
And rightly you may ask, why the hell am I writing about this just now? Bloody good question, as one would hope that I am 30 or more years away from this.
I spent the weekend in Prague, while there we visited the other half’s parents. A seniors community living would be great for them – the type of thing that I describe for myself – however it seems that the Czech market for nursing homes is not yet as advanced as Ireland or the UK. Now I know there are other that would consider their way is better with older people being looked after by their family – sorry people but if you think this still you are living in wonder land.
All of Europe has become so busy that the life style of having time to look after older parents has changed – both in most marriages work, and work too long and late into the day to have the time to spend with their own children and look after their parents.
I reckon by the time I am ready to be carted off we might have something more like the various options they have in the sates – I so hope so.
Dublin Airport and delays again…
So here I am stuck in Dublin Airport as he flight is delayed for two hours. It doesn’t happen often thank god, but airports are fairly boring places.
gave us vouchers for food – good… And I get to sit here in Starbucks and chill for a few hours – still it is hard to get passed the bordom. So here I am writing and hoping that no-one reaaly reads this.
Walking in Europe is a new site that I am developing, and much to my surprise it still hasn’t been indexed by the big G after a month – I should really have put a bit more effort into that, so hopefully this post will help the big G find it at last.
Dublin Airport is fairly horrible, in a few hours we will be in Prague – and what a difference there is in the airport. Prague is just so … clean, not so packed, much easier to be in – also I can still smoke there. Yeah one day I might get around to not doing that anymore.
So hope some of this made some sense – I have only had one xanex so far – yeah hate flying also…
Have a good weekend.
