Dear Charlotte and others -my husband was59 and exremely fit.The speed at which he de teriorated was quite horifying.It was like a fast forward button had been pressed.I had thought I could care for him at home but I couldnt keep up with the rapid rate of change.H e wound up in hospital for the last 3 days.It was a terrible moment when he left the house on a stretcher as I knew he would not return M agic
