[QUOTE="keista, post: 474340, member: 11965"] Tough situation, but DDD is right. The is assistance out there, even through medicare. In home help is cheaper than nursing home care. I would talk to her Dr about it and see what comes up. This could double as the conversation of her forgetfulness. If that continues, in home care may not be sufficient anymore and you may have to explore other options. I haven't had this situation exactly, but I did have mother in law live with me for 3 years. I had to run her to about 50% of her appointments - not easy. Most of the time here she was able to help me as much as I helped her, but when her pain management changed, her disposition changed. We moved her to assisted living ASAP. ((((HUGS)))) [/QUOTE]
