[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 464144, member: 1233"] I am so sorry you are having to cope with all of this on top of your knee pain. The idea of having a migraine in my knee makes me shudder. I would probably fantasize about cutting it off, as often when a migraine is at it's worst I just want to cut out that part of my head. I wish there was something, anything, that I could do to make your knee feel better. From what I know of your husband, I honestly think Star may have hit the nail on the head. He may be wanting mommy to move in so she can cater to him the way you will not. Issues like this are so hard for a family to negotiate. I hope H will man up and do what needs to be done. If he wants his mom to live a long, healthy life he will get her into an assisted living facility - my gma lived at least an extra decade because she was in one. The social activities were a big part of it, but so was having meals prepared to fit dietary needs and available every mealtime every day, and having someone to help organize medications and to see that they were taken on time, and help wiht personal care issues that a mother mostly would NOT want her son to handle. I hope that you can get H to think about how he would handle those needs alone, because if his mom moves in you are leaving - if that is how you feel, make sure that he is aware of it. THe elderly often need help with bathroom issues and I know my gmas would NEVER have let their sons help wtih ANY of them. Whatever you work out, you have my support! [/QUOTE]
