she's Mother's daughter.
reading to my father, and
listening to my mother tell stories of her life worked for us -
my time with my parents in the last years of their lives - especially with my father in the last year of his life - was a great Gift in my life.
Harry and KQ are doing Good (work) !
Harry has found adventure in a region that is home to me, and his mini-TRs in the Midwest thread are a Gift to me
( Thanks ! Harry ! !! )
I wish that Harry could play last season's Packer games for his Mom ( but maybe that's not a great idea with advanced and advancing COPD )
... my father was down to single syllables in response to short sentences - and the look of peacefulness that would come to him as I read Sam Cook's essays ,,, is a gift.
I don't know how to better explain it --
thanks -
Thank you, Harry ! You, Too, KQ !

If you can smoke Lucky Strikes and still live to 95 then I'm pretty sure she would say it was worth it.
Vibes Harry, you're a good man.

My dad had that going on, he'd black out from anemia, I think there were around 8 ambulance trips, he hid most of them from me.
After the last one, I flew down there again (SEA<->FL) and got him, after a bunch of arguments about what was going on (he was hemorrhaging in his stomach due to too much statin drugs), I got him lined up to go to The Mayo Clinic up in Jacksonville.
After his accusations of me trying to run his life, I left him to get the surgery that gave him another 3 years of life before he died from stroke, also possibly related to over medication. His doctors sucked.
Anyway, see if you can get better ulcer analysis. If she's on blood thinners, see if there's some modifications available.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

Vibes Harry. You’re a good son.
My Dad is 83 next week and still smoking 3 packs of Kent’s a day. He’s in Southern Chile so not much I can do.

This!!! My mother shocked the bejesus out of me by suddenly committing to a 3 level (Ind., assisted, and skilled nursing) facility, after screaming for years that she'd never leave her house. I wish I could say it was something I said or did, but ultimately I think she just recognized that living alone out in the country would end badly. The assisted living and skilled nursing were invaluable after she suffered a major stroke and broke her hip, and the simple logistics of being able to quickly make the transitions was much appreciated by both her and myself.

I think he’s blown a million dollars on cigarettes, and another million on the stray dogs he’s taken in down there. He should set up a non for profit.
Bonkers.

We lost my dad to Parkinson’s last year and my mom in 2020 to a combination of things that developed over a number of years following a stroke. My FIL is still holding it together despite some challenges, living alone at 90. Hang in there. It’s not easy but you can handle it.
