She is having pain in her arms. Mamagram lady holding her up pulled her shoulder and arms a lot. She uses walker and had to have someone hold her up. Sitting was excruciating. She also much have pulled a muscle the day before lifting up three dishes to put away instead of one. She also has arthritis. She is using a moist heating pad and taking lots of pain pills. (giving her stomach problems). She doesn't want to go to doctor cause its 50 degrees on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday warmer but rain. She says she can't hold umbrella with walker. (If she asked brother he might hold umbrella over her). I suggested before that brother use wheelchair to take her to doctor. Her answer is I might have to go to bathroom (she does all the time). I said he could take you inside and go back for walker. She said he probable would not do it. He doesn't talk to me. We don't have a relationship. I have to drive the backroad to get to her house. One and a half hours away. Brother lives with her. I can't drive in rain. This is just latest in the constant problems she has.

I don't think medicare would pay for a visiting nurse. They pay when mom comes back from hospital for a short while. Then they stop. Medicare doen't pay for inhome care eighter. They don't want to pay for what they don't have to. Plus mom would say she doesn't need it, even if they would pay. And would tell the person visit this time but don't come back.
The issue that is bothering me is that I feel like Im responcible for moms wellbeing and physical health. Even though she won't listen to doctor or me. And keeps doing what she wants to even if its not best for her.
