It is easier on me physically, but not mentally or emotionally. I still worry whether or not Mom is eating, or lying in dirty briefs...etc. Last night was so horrible for her after passing out getting in the shower. The aides couldn't hold her up and gently got her to the floor, but the skin tear is terrible. She asked me today when she could come home. I told her that there is just no way I can take care of her by myself, but hopefully if we both get better she can. I just can't bring myself to tell her that she won't be coming home.

My husband and Mom's friend made it to her place in Florida safe and sound. Tomorrow they will start packing and loading things up. Not sure how long they will be down there, but know it won't be more than a week.
