[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 524826, member: 4085"] Great idea Sharon/SFR, except my mum is her own worst enemy in this area. She is so determined to "be independent" that she won't accept extra services, even the assistance putting on her pressure stockings is under protest but she sees it as "not being a burden" on us. It is, but one we've undertaken with our eyes open. She can't (or won't) see that the worry about her is also a burden. My sister is in for a shock because Mum has physically deteriorated a LOT since she last saw her at Christmas but she may be able to get her accept the showering assistance for the sake of the stockings. Marg's mother had terrific problems with leg ulcers for the whole time I knew her; Mum knows this and we are using her example as a reason for insisting on the stockings, pointing out that the stockings are a much better prospect than ulcers. Ex-nurses - the worst patients of all! (but I love her dearly) Marg's Man [/QUOTE]
