We moved my mother-in-law and her twin sister here from New York when my mother-in-law had a stroke and has right side paralysis(unable to walk or stand and is wheelchair bound and is fully dependant on someone else for her care).Her sister was hit by a car back in New York and suffered a broken hip and arm(had c-dif,too).So,I flew them here and took care of both of them for a month by myself while my husband was back in NY moving everything out of their house of 42 years to live closer to us.The sister died last march of complications of the c-dif infection.
My mother-in-law lives with us now,after having to add onto our house to make it wheelchair accessible.She has dementia as well and is demanding at times.I sometimes feel overwhelmed and we don't have a support group here,any ideas?
my mamma goes to adult day care 4x a week, for the whole day, and I know all situations are not alike, but check that out in your community. If nothing else, they will have a host of information and insight. This journey is one-day-at-a-time.....but remember to take care of YOU as well!!!!!!
