I'm glad I found this group!

Eventhough I used to take care of my Mother after she had her first stroke, we both lived in Florida. My sister took over her care here in California as I have a permanent back injury, but my sister recently went to hospital and so my Mother is back with me.
We both have some help, but I tell my Mother I am a senior now we have to remind each other of 'stuff'. My goodness I forget my medication sometimes and I have more pain than she does. I don't want her to think it is a difficult job so I give her lots of love and feel lucky I still have her with me. She is 85 and I am in my 60's.

You sound like you are doing well under the circumstances. I am sorry to hear that you are also dealing with health issues. I had a couple things happen while I cared for my husband with my health. It is very hard to look after someone else if you are not well.

You said you both have help...that is good. Do you have help with housecleaning. I always liked it when people helped with that...
