The Waltons had some real advantages in this matter. First there was a hole bunch of them living in the same house, and second, and more important people didn't live as long. When they all were living on Waltons Mtn If someone got seriously sick they probably died soon. Unlike now, if something went wrong with your heart, lungs, brain or whatever you always died. We have all sorts of medical proceedures that increase the quality and quantity of life. I bet there were no kidney transplants or hip replacements in the 1930's. Disease that were fatal are now cronic and manageable. In fact we can manage several cronic diseases at the same time. I have a uncle in a home. He has prostate cancer, diabaties, lung problems, congestive heart failure and some things I am sure I forgot about or never knew (the VA has treated him well, but I think he earned that in Korea, he had a contract you know). He has had those problems for years. He still likes to visit, sometimes we take him to church, and he likes to get in the pickup and watch the combine, even if it is parked. He gets confused some times and talks about checking out of the hotel and going home. We always tell him we will talk about it next time we see him (that is true, he will bring it up and we will talk about it)and he is happy. He is happy most of the time, has dignity and is comfortable. There is now way we could manage him at home. If he had the health care avaliable to the Waltons he would have died 15 years ago.
