About me
I am 62, single and have been caring for both my parents since March 1. I came from Georgia to Florida to help while my Dad had spinal fusion surgery March 3. He came home March 25..Mom fell the next day and broke her back also. She has now had surgery and is using a brace and walker.
Dad walks gingerly without aid, but has started demensia and incontinence since surgery.
I know I can never go back home, because they can't make it without me. I miss my children/grand-children and my house. Taking them back up to Atlanta is not the answer, as their doctors, friends and social connections are in Florida. They need to have these things to feel their life is worth living. I want life to be good as I can make it for them for as long as possible.
