Yeah, I recall sitting with my father-in-law just after he had broken his hip and had all sorts of steel bars put in. He was in a nursing home because he had been hit with a series of TIAs too. His lucid moments were sporadic but I said to him "so how is the rehab going." He surprised me by answering clearly "I'm 93 years old and there is only so much I'm willing to do."
He was dead within 3 weeks.
