So 60+ thereabouts. Not really a problem, is it?

It is more subtle.

I watched my own long dead father decline over time. It is a cruel thing. The decision to place him in a nursing home was really distressing.

The turning point was when I rocked in and found him on the floor. And then my sis rocked in with his prescription.

He insisted that he was "safe" to live alone while lying on the floor.

After some argument, we simply said "if you can climb off the floor, then you have a point to make".

He lust lay on the floor unable to even stand up. And claimed that he could if he wanted to.

But he preferred to be prostrate on the concrete floor because it was somehow better. Than something unidentified.
