Alot of talk has been going around in my family about possibly putting my grandparents in a home since the arrangements and the nurse situations have been getting more and more difficult.

My grandma is still completely convinced that my grandpa is having an affair with the nurses. So much so, that she's started to sleep in their bed again (which could set off her peircing back pain) with him to I guess,"catch him in the act". Everyone in the family has told her that it's ridiculous because literally my grandpa can barely get his shoes on... how in the world could he even begin to do the dirty?! It's nauseating to thing about. And finally the day nurse confronted my grandma because she had had enough of her under-breath accusations and hit attemps (now at two or three, I think) by telling her "I don't sleep with marrried men." Hopefully that got through my grandma's thick skull.

This week is the day nurses last week working at my grandparents house and in the rush of trying to find another nurse to fill in, thoughts of putting both of my grandparents in a nursing home together as become more prevalent since now we kind of know what we're dealing with. It's just two main things that are really making everyone think twice.

One being that since my grandpa was in the Army, he's got the military discounts and to keep him at the place my aunts looked at, it'd be about $140 a month but in order to keep my grandma there, it'd be $4,000 a month. I thought the benefits would help her too being they've been married for over fifty years, but unfortunately, I suppose that's not the case. Reason two is that if we put them in a home, my grandmother's depression could spiral out of hand. She already thinks no one cares about her when everyone's around all the time; so if she were taken from her house and put in a home, I think she'd really feel the abandonment that she already claims to feel.
