I know how hard it is Janet, but I also know how strong you are. God Bless you both. Love you!

I agree, when my grandma was taken to the hospital I was the one that had to make decisions because no one could handle it. I was in denial also and wanted to do whatever it took to get her better. Of course her body was fragile and she was in peace. I think the best thing is to get them as comfortable as they can be.

My thoughts and heart goes to you Janet. You are a wonderful daughter.

You wouldn't have a very good time if you were here and when you are able to come...I want it to be a great time.

You know...even though Mom now can not stand without help (no balance) and has all these problems and now she is in bed alot....she still doesn't really seem 'fragile'. Even though she isn't able to do things like she did....she doesn't seem like she's going to pass anytime soon either. It's so hard to know what is best. Hospice will come out and tell us what they think. If they think it's too soon...they said they will always be able to come later.

I sure wouldn't wish this on anyone.

What have you found out about your arm? Have you gotten any relief yet?

[Janet]

Nope....not yet.

Janet...not been posting much of late, but i am still here reading.

I have been through what you are going through, and it is very hard, you are doing so well, just take each day as it comes, you will get there and things will get better.

Love and prayers to you and your mum.

Thank you so much Diane, glad you posted. Sure would love to see you more often on here.
