totally stressed

Annie, I'm so sorry about your Mom.  You are a great daughter.  It's so hard to see our parents failing and falling and having unhealthy habits that contribute to her accidents.  Hang in there and take care of yourself!  IT's good that you have brought in outside help!  You can't do it all. 

Annie, I am sending out prayers for you and your mother. Sometimes as much as we love someone... we can't help them see the problem. Take care of yourself and I will be thinking of you and your mother, God Bless Myrtis

Annie, I'm so sorry to hear that your mother fell again today.   I hope it can be of some comfort to you to know that, along with the many others on this board, I'm thinking of you and sending prayers for you and your mother. And please, please, please, don't forget to take care of yourself during this stressful time!!  Keep us posted........Cathy W.

Annie,      I know it must be a difficult situation. I'm sorry for the pain it is causing you. Be strong, friend. I'm praying for you. xoxo Mare

Annie,

I'm so very sorry to hear that you mother isn't doing well. It's so very distressing to have our parents in ill health. While this is really difficult, you are so very much healthier and able to care for her this year than you were last year. I'm hoping that you will continue to take the time you need to take care of yourself so that you will be able to care for her.

Love,

Barb

Annie, I am so sorry for what you are going through now.  Having recently experienced the loss of my mother after having been her major caregiver for two years, I fully realize the amount of stress and strain it places on you and your life.  My heart goes out to you and to your mother.  After my Mother had her first below knee amputation and was undergoing rehab and PT  for that, there were several times she would call us to come over and get her up out of the floor rather than press her Life Alert button which she paid for monthly.  It was a hard thing to face, seeing her so helpless.  It would take my husband and myself working together to get her back into her wheelchair at her weight of around 200 pounds.  That was definitely a motivating factor in my getting my lap  band procedure done.  But the stress, especially towards the end, also made it hard to eat to maintain continuing weight loss.  So, Annie, I will keep you and your family in my prayers and ask that you do the same for mine.  We will lift each other up.  You have worked hard and done a wonderful job.  You should be so very proud.
