註釋A husband's caregiving experiences for his wife. His approach to care giving was unconventional. He chose to continue daily life as normal and sought logical interpretations for her irrational behaviour, entering her clouded Dementia world. Her condition declined rapidly whilst in hospital, unaided, she walked into hospital and returned wheelchair bound. In spite of his best efforts to provide her with twenty-four care, he soon conceded it was impossible to care and maintain their large home and grounds. She was doubly incontinent and rigidity had set in, thus he felt compelled to place her in a Nursing Home. In the months that followed her condition deteriorated to a degree that she became bedridden and required palliative care. His daily eight hour harrowing visits, became unbearable and against all advice he decided to take her home to die. For nine long painful months her survival prospects were rated very poor. Constantly he was warned she was dying, but he insisted on care giving in his own way.
