[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like she need 2 knee replacements. I say this as someone who crawled upstairs in my own home after working a responsible job. My knees were shot. I was in hospital 3 nights and rehab 5 before I was able to go home. I had one knee done and the other wasn't good. If she has both done in one session or a week apart she will be in care for at least a week. And unable to go home. Cue the one level recovery apartment. Cue the cleaners. See if the house is ok if garbage is removed and repairs made. If she needs a stairlift due to obesity, an option. But I had a friend who got 2 replaced weighed 300 and was safe on stairs after PT. Wherever she ends living getting her knees fixed so she can walk is merciful and will give her dignity. I didn't like living upstairs when my spouse eas away because it was too hard to get down. I was 56. inam 73 now with 2 great knees and don't dread stairs. [/quote] +1. Address the immediate need. [/quote]
