   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.
