[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 88 yr old mother, stage 6/7 alzheimer has bedsores, and mobility issues. She lives with my family. I am at my wits end. Is it terrible that I secretly hope her bedsores do not heal, despite me taking care of them, and get infected, and that “does her in”?  Her quality of life is terrible, as is mine. I also quietly hope she gets covid, and will have a swift end. I feel so much guilt when these thoughts come into my mind.

[b]Lately, I’ve been loosing my temper with her.[/b] My back and wrists are killing me from having to help her get out of bed to take her to the bathroom. Taking her to the doctor is a huge ordeal, and they really cannot help a lot anyway.

I am ready to place her in memory care, but I worry they won’t accept her with bedsores. [/quote]  Please get some help.  Or put her in a facility.   I know you don't mean to lose your temper, but like a pp said, you will snap eventually, and none of this is your mother's fault.

Good luck, op. [/quote]
