Love this woman dearly but it does get hard..no one helps. but i do it for her, she never wanted to go to a nursing home, she was always afraid of being left alone. but i am trying to survive too..and reading the wall helped me realize my situation isnt half that bad..thanks.

yup your right..i do want to scream..because elder services is screwing me..no help from the agencies they are short of people..i have one everyday for my moms bath but no one can come..my regular girl is in the hospital

I wonder how much of my life I have wasted waiting for the fizz on diet coke to go down... Something tells me at the end of the line, I'm gonna miss all those accrued minutes...

Anyways, yes this is a great board. And a great group of people! Bless you for doing what your doing and good luck!

ForeverRainbows, at some point or another, we all feel just like SCREAMING! Even if our situation isn't as difficult as another's, it still sux to be us sometimes! I hope the understanding, support and general maintenance help we give to one another will get us all through these difficult times. Blessings to you for all that you do for your mom!
