[QUOTE="witzend, post: 221000, member: 99"] I'm sorry that you are still having to deal with this at this point in your dad's life. My concern was for your mom, too. Are you talking to her? If the physical requirements are too hard on her, I hope that she will do what she can to save her own health. Will she be able to ask the doctor to order medical transport assistance, and DLA around the home? I know how hard it is to have a mom that won't stand up to your dad. My mom is 5'4" and frail, and my dad is 6'4" and big and somewhat strong. If he were ever immobile, she would have to get in home health or put him in a facility that could handle him. If I were in that spot, I'd get a POA and make him take the assisted services. I've already told husband that if he won't get his cholesterol under control (and he won't) and ends up with a stroke he will have to recover in a nursing home because I just plain can't lift him or push him in a chair. I'll force a power chair on him if he won't do it for himself. {{{{{{{{{Big hugs}}}}}}}}}} [/QUOTE]
