[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 103492, member: 47"] Jo, my mother lives near my younger brother and his wife (she lives in one of his apartment bldgs that he co owns with other people). She no longer drives, and is pretty far from just about anything. I just found out a few weeks ago he has pancreatic cancer and its terminal. She is in So. Carolina and knows no one there except them. I had at one time suggested assisted living, but was shot down as it was "too expensive". Like your mom, she really didn't make enough money nor had she planned for retirement years. I think she thought Social Security would be enough. Now is not a good time for me to be wondering out loud to her as to exactly what she is going to do as they have not exactly told her what the state of his health is, and I can't really approach them as I am sure this is low on their priority list right now. I have no idea of how much my sister in law is willing to assume, if anything, and really can't even begin to think of what to do in a worse case senario. Not to mention SO is really worried about his mom who is crippled but still living on her own. He has told her no way will she have to go to a convalescent home [img]:nonono:[/img] I thought I was pretty well overwhelmed as the day is comming soon when he will be in a wheelchair bound himself and what am I going to do then - these two additional concerns have me absolutely wringing my hands.. I will be watching your thread and making notes..sigh.. Marcie [/QUOTE]
