You have been greatly missed here. There has been an attempted coup of the site organised by the Trumpets and Trumpettes but it was repelled but reinforcements are desperately needed! Seriously I suspect you're on a roller coaster of a ride with your parents. I'm with you. Take care my beautiful friend. x (and that's a European kiss!) A rollercoaster is just what it was like, Spunky. We're learning as we go. My sister finally got fed up and tracked down a coordinator to help steer our searches. We managed up to this point but it'll be a relief to be able to rely on a pro. Kisses back at you my friend. I'm secure in my sexuality. And, what the hell, if we keep kissing like this we may each learn some things about ourselves. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Huge hugs for you both my friend. It's never easy to see our parents failing....make beautiful memories in the time you still have together. I wish I had lived closer to mine when their time came. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

If you haven't, check with your local government. In some states, counties have special division dedicated to the elderly that can help you with resource and information, including respite care (which is an important thing that gets overlooked too often!)

Ah , it's an awful time for you both, and for your folks. But you know, they are lucky to have such a devoted son and daughter in law. I bet your folks beam with pride when they ever have the chance to think about that! As the lovely McNice says, please do look after yourselves too in all of this. Thinking of you all....... My wife is indeed devoted to my folks. They've treated her far better than her own kin ever did. They do know we'll do our best for them. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Hugs to you and your family....sending some positive thoughts your way for the strength you all need. Your mom and your dad are both lucky to have you, Pam, your sister and all your family to help them through this. Are we going to see you in Washington, D.C. next month? I do hope so!

Thank you, Schoolmarm. Today looks better. I'm sure we'll have other bad times, but our fingers are crossed right now that Mom's at least temporarily better. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Thank you Lisa. My folks have had their health problems but have done remarkably well, considering they're eighty seven and independent. Mom's health has been in sort of a downward spiral this year though, and she gave us quite a scare- more than one- these last few weeks. I'll still keep teasing her and trying to make her laugh for as long as I can. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

My folks don't want to move, and I've always hoped they wouldn't have to. We can get the outside help- I just hope it's enough. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I am commiserating with you during these difficult times. I see and feel so many parallels to what I was going through about three years ago. Your perspective is unique, and I don't want to make this about me. I am totally with you about wanting to keep them out of an antiseptic place. (Some aren't so antiseptic. They're just pathetic.) Home is the place to be. Read my diary Journal of a Taxi Driver for taxi stories and pictures of flowers and trees.

First off I have missed you int blogland. Hang in there for your Mom. My prayers go out to you and your family Bill. It is a very hard time of theater to be dealing with this. Caught up when you can we understand hugs V Become a blog watcher sweet_vm

I hope your Moms health continues to improve and things all work out well. It would be good to continue looking into options and to be ready if and when they decide to move out of their home. Hopefully you can make arrangements to have help for them at home. My parents just sold their house this summer and moved to a single floor residence as it was troublesome for them to go up and down the stairs. Vive La Difference

So hard. Seems to me like mid-80's is when our parents get frail and have a lot more challenges with weathering illnesses. The assisted living decision is hard too. I would just say be aware that even though the environment might seem "sterile", the main thing is that you're nearby and can visit often. It's the people that make a situation good or bad, not necessarily the surroundings

It's the people that make a situation good or bad, not necessarily the surroundings Things look a lot better this weekend than they did even when I wrote this post. We didn't dare hope that she'd feel this much better. So although she still has a lot of improving to do, she looks and acts more like Mom now. They aren't so far away that we can't look in on them more often when she goes home. So that's what we'll do. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Thanks Cinnamon. As I mentioned to Smarty above, the situation has improved rather dramatically in just the last two days. I hope that trend continues! Become a member now and get a free tote bag.
