This will be a lot easier on you, Janet. You will get to go in and visit and enjoy your time with your Mom......not have to do all the worrying about all the day-to-day stuff. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

It is easier on me physically, but not mentally or emotionally. I still worry whether or not Mom is eating, or lying in dirty briefs...etc. Last night was so horrible for her after passing out getting in the shower. The aides couldn't hold her up and gently got her to the floor, but the skin tear is terrible. She asked me today when she could come home. I told her that there is just no way I can take care of her by myself, but hopefully if we both get better she can. I just can't bring myself to tell her that she won't be coming home.
My husband and Mom's friend made it to her place in Florida safe and sound. Tomorrow they will start packing and loading things up. Not sure how long they will be down there, but know it won't be more than a week.

Highlans, I'm very sorry about your mom.
Janet, I don't know what to say except you are in my prayers. I have not been able to be on here much lately but I think of you often and my heart aches for you and the situation you're going through.

Highlands I too am sorry for your loss. Hopefully you'll find time to be on here more.......you're missed!!!!
Janet, you are in my thoughts so much. I know that you're doing the best for your Mom!!! Just enjoy spending time with her. I'm sure the nursing home is taking care of her the best they can......it helps that you're stopping by so often to check on her. If there's anything I can do for you or your Mom let me know!!!! |
