The Dignity of life

This has not been a good few days. He has had several falls and today took a chunk out of his leg. He then had difficulty getting up but did not want help. It is not easy to see someone you love trying to haul themselves up by crawling to a chair to get a good hold on something. Add to that he had what I call an old man's accident, something which embarrassed him considerably. It then becomes important to try and preserve his sense of dignity. All of these things affect him mentally as well and so he becomes very agitated. Thank goodness tomorrow is a fresh start.
