[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 153418"] I'm not really sure that is being a difficult child...not in my definition of the word. I can think of other things. Perhaps it borders on being a difficult child. Certainly strong willed. One thing I thought about clearly reading the story... I had an elderly relative that was doing well. He was strong, proud, healthy and independent. Then he fell and broke his hip and was hospitalized. At the hospital, they would not come and help him go to the bathroom. One day, a nurse suggested they simply give him a diaper instead! He did NOT want to soil the bed, so he said okay. It CHANGED him. He NEVER used a bathroom again on his own, got accustomed to diapers, aged quickly, became senile and died shortly thereafter. I will NEVER forget it. Yes, you are held "captive" at the hospital. This is why I say to take an "advocate" with you. The way I see it, your aunt is a smart cookie. [/QUOTE]
