We just put my father-in-law in an alzheimers unit last week. I stayed spent heavy time helping them over the past 4 years. Mother-in-law has had 2 strokes and has fallen twice (cracked her spine).

Until 8 months ago, I spent almost every evening with them.

Recently I had to return home, was working out of town where they live. We have 24/7 home health care workers with mother-in-law now.

One of my friends told me recently, “getting old is not for sissies.”

Doggone, your friend was right. My Mom is 82 and on Alzheimer's meds even though the docs refuse to say she has it. Her memory and focus are suffering though and I have to be nearby to prevent accidents and take care of things. You have dealt with a lot so I hope you don't forget to look after yourself.

I am just beginning this journey with Mom. She broke her wrist this summer but we got through that. Thank goodness for some great docs and nurses.
