Seniors as they age are more prone to bungling.
Bungling is a word of swedish origin-mix of boggle and bumble- conveying acting ineptly or clumsily.
A recent one I came across.
One distant relative , a senior citizen went to hospital to see his close relative diagnosed with cancer. He got upset seeing him and while getting out of the hospital after meeting him
the world appeared blurred thru his specs. He felt dizzy and went right back into hospital and doctor treated him on emergency basis and subjected him to many tests . Within an hour
, he got a call from the cancer patient that he had taken by mistake his specs instead of his own and he wanted it back. Naturally the world appeared blurred
wearing someones specs.He ended up paying 8000 rs for tests conducted by hospital on him.
So many senior citizens suffer from imaginary ailments when someone close suffers. If someone close dies, they start thinking about themselves and the inevitable end.
When one of my siblings died a year back, someone looking after him distantly related got sick and he has lost interest in living.He has refuses to go out of home and has shut
himself up complaining of ailments. Doctors have advised us to leave him alone instead of treating him as there is nothing wrong with him.
One more keeps getting in and out of hospital due to fits. Last time he came out of hospital, he claimed he had lost his memory.His son in law took him to
many banks where he had stashed his money and made him nominate his wife in all accounts and deposits.No one believes he has lost his memory.He is just
putting on an act to get more attention . So his children took leave for a month to just spend time with him.
Looking after senior citizen in late seventies and eighties can be taxing for near relatives.
It is the next generation which is taking the brunt of bunglings by these seniors.
They are getting more stressed than seniors looking after them
