I made her a promise that she would never go into a nursing home. They come to try and take her out of here and it's going to be ugly.

bad promise...Never make a promise that says never....you have no idea of whet the next ten years or so may entail...do you want to be with her 24/7/365..do you want to change her diapers and feed her every meal , nursing homes can be wonderful places, I visit them often and MOST are more that O.K....please don't condemn them out of hand, your mom may NEED one sooner than you think.

I have been with her 24/7/365 for the last five years for all practical purposes. I fix a lot of our meals now. I don't plan to stop eating. Do I want to change her diapers? Of course not. I doubt she wanted to change mine but she did. I would be here for her without making the promise. She asked for the promise so I gave it to her.

Put your reading glasses on. I made no remark condemning nursing homes. None.
