[quote=Anonymous] OP, are you me? You're not, but you could be! Dad also has Parkinsons, has some cognitive decline (which is a later stage symptom of the disease) so Mom makes decisions. He 'wants to stay home forever'. Mom goes along with that. Dad toppled onto Mom a year ago, causing them both to fall and she broke her hip. So now they are both handicapped. She's lucky to be alive (they were on the floor overnight as this happened about an hour after my daily visit). It's been...a journey... for sure. Not going to write it all out but I hear you OP. They're PAST ready for assisted living but won't go. I'm sure it will end in crisis for one or both of them (again). It's the norm now I guess. I love them so much, but wow this has been stressful.[/quote]
