[quote=Anonymous]Dealing with the care of my 88 year old mom. She has congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure and takes about 14 daily meds. Also has significant cognitive decline that exacerbated depression. She sold the childhood home and moved to an independent living community but has been in and out of the hospital and inpatient rehab more than she’s been in her apartment. She is in complete denial of her health and condition and landed herself back in the hospital because she stopped taking one of her antidepressants cold turkey when she decided she was no longer depressed. Now we pay for a med service company to give her meds twice a day. All this said, she lives “independently” but I take her to various medical appointments about one a week. Also take notes during each appointment and provide updates to my siblings. [/quote]
