Rendezvous 04
Caring for my mom Member since April 16, 2008Were to start.Most recently I have been dealing with many different health care , nursing home, rehab , case workers and social services people. I'm trying to get the best care I can for my Mother. It is getting to be a bit much, especially when you have family members who don't get it.
Life before Feb.28,2008 was manageable. Mother was able to do pretty much everything on her own. Now after numerous hospital stays and rehab. things are falling apart. Mother has been misdiagnosed her symptoms have not been addressed when they occurred. I can not tell you how mind blowing all these events have been to deal with.
Now a little about myself. In 95 I decided to move back to Illinois to take care of my parents. I wanted to get reacquainted with them ,after a long time away and before they really needed my help. All was well until my father was diagnosed with cancer in 2000. It was very hard on Mother and I, guess you can say that this was the start.
