[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 65436, member: 1953"] Karen, My mother in law and father in law have lived in Florida for over 20 years. Just this past April, my father in law died. We asked my mother in law to come back but she said "No Way" She has arthritis in both knees and it is almost impossible to get up or sit down. So we were very worried how she is managing. We went down there for a week in July to check to see how she is doing and she is doing great. She is not alone, she has many friends down there. She is still driving really good. I told her she should be the designated driver of all her friends. Now for the first time, she is checking into surgery to get her knees fixed. She is 80 and this is worrisome for her, but she realizes if she doesn't do it, she will probably have to come back here to assisted living eventually. Sometimes when the older people come back they go down hill. But if your dad wants to come back that may be a different story. Again, I am sorry your mom is so sick and in pain right now. Take Care, Lia [/QUOTE]
