I never could figure that out. Why make the last years of their lives less enjoyable by cutting out salt after they’ve been eating it for the previous 80-90 years? I think I will have my kids/grandkids smuggle sea salt in for me if I live long enough to end up in a nursing home.

My grandmother, RIP, was 85 years old... bedridden... having had several strokes.
Her favorite was fatback sandwich that she has been eating for 85 years.
The doctors said the fatback wasn’t good for her. 85 years old. On her death bed. Give her fatback sandwiches if she wants it, she earned it.

I would happily off myself before I’d go to one of those prisons-I will die with my freedom. I come from a family who believes God will punish you if you send a family member there to be tortured in their last years.

When my late husband was dying from liver cancer, he needed pain medicine but the nurse said, “no, he might get addicted!” Either my niece or daughter went and told her he needed it now and to give it to him. No one messes with either lady and he got the pain med. We just did not understand where their common sense was.

Settled science says it lowers blood pressure, except it doesn't.
