She has to be on it 5 years, so she will have chemo brain for awhile. But I am also praying that Mom and Dad will know the right things to do for themselves, and that we children will, also.Inklingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173567199140492921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586463381137391843.post-74746870777216839992010-10-21T08:52:42.302-06:002010-10-21T08:52:42.302-06:00I really hope that they will finally just agree an...I really hope that they will finally just agree and you won't have to take those stronger actions - I worry about them so much!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692897932694365285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586463381137391843.post-47305097473815608512010-10-20T18:29:23.424-06:002010-10-20T18:29:23.424-06:00The one thought I keep having is that we should re...The one thought I keep having is that we should reinforce the idea that right now they have a choice in what they do. But if one of them falls again and is hurt seriously, they will lose the choice about where they live. They will be forced to live in a care center. <br /><br />The other thought I had is that anywhere you live is home. It's all in your attitude. I had a friend in China who got upset if ex-pats she knew there didn't hang up any pictures in their apartments. Their reasoning was that they wouldn't be there very long. But it is still their home, if even temporarily. If they would allow themselves to settle in at your house, it would become home too. <br /><br />I wish I could help with them, because long ago Mom told me that she could live with me. But my current house isn't set up for the elderly, and my own health isn't good right now. I have wondered if they would be more willing to live with Sticks and his family, but they live in the snow too! I don't know the answer, but I'm afraid if they refuse much longer, the decision will be made for them.Delirioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564398770468606675noreply@blogger.com
