I am going thourgh the very same thing.It is so hard and exhausting.We need rest and each other to get thur this.You are thought of and hugged today!

I am still looking for an appropriate place for my mother. On a more cheerful note, she IS doing better as far as her ambulation goes, but her cognition and short term memory is worsening. Her stamina is better. (yay!) I have been shut down on every avenue I go down for assistance for her. Financial as well as everything else. I can't get but one day per week for assistance from the state to do some light housework. NO ONE to help prepare meals, so I am still paying out of pocket for someone to come at B'fast and lunch for about an hour for this as well as some company. Thanks so much for your hugs. They are needed more than you know. LOVE YOU ALL!

Only child here too.. its a burden, with no one to share the responsiblity with. I feel for you, You are a wonderful, strong, powerful woman, I can do this. YOU can do this. Hard yes.
Forever..NO~ Nutz

Hey... Thank you for all the nice compliments, I will tell you that I am going to do a little digging for you to see what I can come up with. I am VERY VERY good at finding "stuff"
Need to know a couple things. Is she under hospice care ? if not can she get onto it? Also, there may be some hidden provision in the Medicare code that allows a stay in the hospital, even if it is deemed Psychological( re Suicidal). Is she on Medicare or Medicaid ?
Im sure I can come up with something. well, almost sure.

You're so welcome, thank you for chatting with me.
I will have a better day because of you and the others here on this WONDERFUL site. Peace be with you ALL

I am an only child as well. I'm it. I hope it helps to know that you are not alone. I know in some sort of wierd way it just helps to talk to someon about it that can truly understand and not pass judgements, maybe just a simple "hows it goin". so..
HOW's it Goin ?
