[quote=Anonymous] My brother and I went through (still are) with our mom, OP- I get it. Mom is 77 and was pretty active -walking normally, going places with me and my kids, events, ect-until 75, when she broke her hip caring for our Dad (he has parkinsons and fell over on her, knocking her down). She hasn't recovered fully her mobility (for various reasons, some mental) so it is what it is. I can't 'make' her do more therapy for it so here we are. In fact, just this morning I was planning my day, going to go to some stores for last minute gifts and thought, oh I should see if Mom wants to come? Then I remembered-it would probably be too much walking, what if she stumbles, what if someone bumps into her...I'm going alone. I'm grateful to have my parents here with me still, but it's defenitely a weird road to navigate.[/quote]
