Mom
My Mom lives in a retirement home about 25 minutes from me. She does pretty well on her own but cannot drive and has me do most of here necessary telephone calls. I do various chores for her but it doesn't demand a lot of my time. The concern that keeps nagging at me is will I know quickly enough when I should step in and take on more responsibility. I think it is her medication that concerns me the most. She has been very good at keeping a running inventory and going on line and reordering far enough in advance. Every now and then she gets into trouble and, so far, I have been able to make some calls and get everything straightened out. Part of me says I should be regularly monitoring her meds and part of me says that would be insulting and inappropriate. The balance between keeping her safe and respecting who she is gets very confusion sometimes.
