My son was married and gone and I can remember that the doctors would take some old lady that lived alone and put her in a nursing home. Well, I thought, boy I know there is something very wrong with me and if I go to a doctor and that's what he's going to do. Jeff is up at Rockford. He can't control this. I'll have to go to a nursing home, and I didn't want to. So I kept putting it off, until it got so damn bad that one of my nurse friends forced me to go.
