Hi Folks
I know we don?t necessarily want to think these things but we will all get older and as CDers how will it affect our lives and our loved ones?
My SO are in our mid-seventies, reasonably fit (thankfully), but CDing is an important part of my life, but limited as I am in a DADT situation. We have family and have been updating our personal records, updating our wills, Power of Attorneys (a UK thing where nominated relations/reliable friends can help you when you can?t do things yourself). Only my SO knows of my CDing.
So one evening she says ?What worries me is what if you are ill and dressed. What will the emergency services think??
?I don?t think they will bat an eye. They see all sorts of things and as professionals would just ignore what I was wearing and get on with their job.?
She seemed happy with that, but it got me thinking.
1. What if I became more frail, disabled etc, how would I be able to CD?
2. Would a professional home carer be bothered by CDing?
3. Maybe a time to think about full-time CDing?
4. What would happen if I was to go into a care facility?
5. Would I be accepted as a full or part-time CDer?
6. If the family found my stash, how would they react?
For the moment the chat with my SO on this subject has not been raised, but it will remain under the radar, so any thoughts/ideas/experience would be very welcome. Thanks in advance.
Vikky
