When did you decide to do it?
My mom will be alone after I leave on Monday to head overseas. I am so freaked out.
My dad is wheelchair bound, but pretty independent, still wants to use the toilet on his own, etc.
Mom nearly dropped him on the toilet the other day, and he was hanging onto her neck (she has arthritis and fibromyalgia), so she's screaming at him to let go.
Today, she was giving him medication and gave him a bit too much. He got loopy, of course, and ended up driving his chair out in the woods where he hit a tree root and fell out of his chair. Fortunately, my nephew is here until the 9th and was able to help.
I am feeling like they could really use assistance, but they refuse! I am at wit's end! My mom keeps saying once I am gone she will ask for help, but I feel like they should be planning and arranging.
Can you say stressed out? Yes, that's me....stressed out!:shock:
