[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Is your MIL my mom??? We must be related LOL Nearly-80 yo mom acts about like this! They won't even replace her knee because she isn't likely to be compliant with PT. It's really frustrating. She's pretty happy to just trundle from her room to the kitchen to the couch (I live with her so I see this daily). She's making her choices, I guess...[/quote] But then what happens when she falls and declines? Are you expected to provide 24/7 care for her?[/quote] Yep! I do my best to keep the house safe-removed throw rugs (despite her protest) and arranged furniture more safely. I do get her out with me-we shop together and go places-so she's not totally sedentary. But I'm at work all day and she tends to not move much during that time. I'll take care of her-she helped me so much with my kids and I live here and the house is in trust to me. I just want her quality of life to be the best it can be.[/quote]
