Dear Stacy,
Not all nursing homes are the 7th layer of hell. You can check on them.
Talk to people that live in them. Some have really great people both working
there and living in them. I do feel for you. I do hope you resolve the problem
in a way that your mom is comfortable with too.

I have had my Mom up here the last few weeks. My brother
commited suicide and it was really a stressful time. I also have another
brother who is bi polar in prison and my oldest brother is self absorbed and
doesn't call or talk to anyone.
All that aside, my Mom is physically not doing well. She is only 54
but has had a stroke on one side and broke her hip on the other side.
She can't get around very well and has a very hard time getting into my
van. I'm concerned about her when she gets older. I’m the
responsible one out of the kids and I have always thought that I could never
let my parents go to a nursing home. If her boyfriend goes before her or
they split up, then I'm at a loss as to what I would do to help her. I
can't do anything for her and it eats me up. When she had her stroke, I
was the only one that flew down to Florida. While I was there, I got her
house in order by cleaning, organizing and making things easier for her.
Now that I'm in the chair, I cant do those things for her and it eats me up
inside to think she'll end up in a nursing home.
Has anyone else had any thoughts like that?
Stacy
