 pa> My mother, in her late 7os, just went into a nursing home last week.
 pa> After a major stroke my sister took Mom in for 3 years... but it got too
 pa> hard for her to manage. [Mom needs 80% help with... everything.] I sent
 pa> flowers and spoke with her... my brother is taking her out for lunch and
 pa> the like, but UGH... Mom was always a bull. I just know she dislikes
 pa> this new chapter. I need to get my arse out to Ohio.

My Dad looked after mum for a couple of years but was burnt out at the end of it all and she needed higher level care than he could offer so (thankfully) he was able to get her into rest home (hospital level) care..

Feeling for you too... seems a bunch of us are at the same stages of life with our parents :(

 pa> I hope yer wrong, Avon, but am glad that you got to convey with her on
 pa> this Mothers Day... keep yer hope up; you got this Mothers Day. Cheers,
 pa> sir.

Thanks :)
