I am sending you a hug.

My 84 year old Mom fractured her arm two weeks ago and I've been doing her laundry, shopping, paying bills, bank deposits, etc. It's allot of work especially when you have your own family (husband & kids). Luckily, the Visiting Nurses have come in to help with bathing and some cooking.

One of my brothers mentioned that we should go to court to tell them our Mom is not fit to live alone. Perhaps that is something you should consider?

For my Mom it's different. My brother had no idea what he was saying because she is of sound mind and is very active (up until her fall and fracture). But she is getting antsy and can't wait to get better. However, I get nervous thinking of the coming winter and the snow and wonder, will she really be okay to live by herself? She's pretty stubborn and will shovel the sidewalk and walk downtown in the snow. It makes me mad because she will NOT let us help her. I've even suggested we move in together and she FREAKED OUT!

So I can understand how hard it must be. I'm sending you this hug to let you know you are not alone. Should you need to talk, you can PM anytime!

Take care!
