...being suddenly thrust into a caregiving role for my 90 yr old mostly senile mostly deaf father when my mother was rushed to the hospital for pneumonia really tested me (I arrived here for an overnight stay in January) I know these are the days I will remember most with my parents but dad is homebound...my home is 75 miles away.. I see my hubby an afternoon a week when he runs groceries and (Tequila!) to me once a week...since I cant even leave the house to get food. I cant get back home til mom and dad are moved nearer us. I told hubby to just have my mail forwarded here
