Anyone taking care of elder parents??

[sasvermont]

I am not sure where this path will take me, but just yesterday, I called a local agency for the aging and put my name on a list for someone to contact me to come out and evaluate my Mom. I don't know much beyond that, but it is a start. I have also started to admit to everyone I know, that I am running out of steam taking care of my Mom and working at the same time.

I will keep those interested, posted, in hope that whatever information I gather, might help others as well.

The situation of mine is not unique but it surely feels like it to me!

Boy, do i know what you mean!!!!

And even my family doesn't help me too much - my husband (my rock) is helping me more than my own sister! She insists that our father is just "messing with our minds" and can't remember things to "piss us off".


See what I have to work with??!! lol


Yes, I would love to know what information you come up with - and I will keep you updated with anything I come across, too.

My brother does not believe in doctors. If I would just STOP taking Dad to all those doctors and giving him all those medicines and his insulins and such, he would be FINE! This, from a 41 year old!!
