but
sigh..
I don't like when our parents get old
Does she have a favorite food?
She likes lots of stuff
We make her at least one big meal a week
Then she has left-overs
She gets 10 meal tickets a month
For dinner in the dining room
oh ok
She has to sign up for whatever meals she likes
Like turkey and stuffing day
Does she have any friends there?
or meatloaf day
Yes, she has a couple of friends
Aww is she able to go to the dining room on her own
Right after Dad died, three widow friends "adopted" her
Not anymore
I've been going down and picking up her meals for her
ohh ok
Other than the fall and her age.. is she in good health?
no pain?
I usually go over there in the mornings, but I guess I'll go in the evening
Lots of pain
she has two titanium knees and a titanium hip
oh wow
has arthritis and scoliosis
She uses a walker
But not that bad for 92, really
I know it must be really hard on you as well. It's not easy taking care of someone you love.. in every way.. but it's one thing that you will never regret. So I am so glad you are having these moments with her everyday.
I don't regret taking care of Dad for one second.
Now it's time to take care of Mom.
Same thing
It's what we do..
they took care of us.. raised us..
Right
Now it's our time
I hope you are able to take a little time for yourself.. so you aren't burnt out. Make your brother help when you need it. Pull him by his ear lol
And hopefully my kids will do the same for me
They will
