This gave me a break as mom couldn't be left alone and required A LOT of day to day assistance. I took care of her doc appointments [which were numerous] kept her medications organized, did her laundry, and got to her hair appointments, nails, etc. She had a room at my sisters and a bathroom she used and we just kept some clothes and cosmetics there so all mom had to do was drive back and forth. It was about a 30 minute drive. All of mom's old friends lived very near my sister and one of them always came and picked mom up and got her to her old church so she could see her old friends etc. They took her to lunch afterwards and sometimes on Sat. too and both my other brother and another sister lived closed by her as well and they too took turns "keeping" mom and spending time with her on the week-ends too. My oldest sister traveled down from the mountains occasionally and helped out on the week-ends too. I felt like 4 of them split time with mom on about a day and half [by the time you allowed traveling time back to my house etc.] where there was really nothing to do but visit and enjoy, and I had 5 full days and all of the actual work, lol. But trust me I appreciated those days off more then you could ever know. How I loved my mom could NEVER be expressed enough, and how I cherished those last couple of years with her and all the laughter, and fun, and conversations we shared can NEVER be replaced, and were oh sooo precious, but it was VERY HARD. I am soo glad you are able to not only give your sweet mom a change of scenery, but your sister a much needed I am sure break as well and some quality time with you too. Its a win, win, win! Have a wonderful time at your gathering today...that sounds like such a FUN and good thing to be doing too.

I am glad you are doing this--for all of your sakes.

You have to child proof for old people just like you child proof for babies except they don't usually stick their fingers in light sockets or chew on extension cords. Good luck.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.com
