My grandmother didn't wander off, thankfully, but she broke her neck three
times and survived.  Evidently there is a little "pin" made of bone on the
top of your spine that your neck sits in.  If that breaks completely, you're
dead.  She cracked it three times.

What killed her, sadly, was her dislike for water.  She literally
dehydratede herself to death even in a nursing home.  She flatly refused to
drink water.

As a diabetic, I know exactly what you are talking about.  I have to resist
the urge to buy sweets.  I am trying to limit myself to once a week but it
is difficult.  If my blood sugar gets too high, I do get into a bit of a
"sugar fog" but that's rare for me these days.

Later,
Sean
