I am
de cook
de cleaner
de bather
de chauffer
de laundress
de social services caller
de wheelchair screwup fixer
de wrestling watching companion
de hairdresser
de manicurist
de massage queen

and we have one phone line that I have to keep open till later at night in case who knows who calls..
But ya know what?? I love my mom..would NEVER do this for anyone else..
Have been fighting with social services all day cause who's gonna do this when I go home Sunday till she can take care of herself in a few months!! The way they "handle" older people is horrendous here..especially if the close relatives are not millionaires..I can pay for someone to come clean weekly, but she needs help doing laundry, cooking, bathing..and her husband can't walk..he needs surgery on both his knees..so he cant do anything..
This has me so very scared for them..

Sorry..had to vent..

having just gone through the medicare/medicad, supplimental ins. etc.. with my mom just a few weeks ago, *may she be walking well in her next life* i feel your pain. All those "agencies" wanted her to be either destitute or us to gtd that we'd pay.. while it should never be a question of "money" or in our case, which one of us would totally change our life to facilitate her ongoing care.. unfortunately i think that telemarketing rejects are on the other end of the phone lines, disguised as "CUSTOMER Service" people for those government agencies.. trust me i can understand why there is workplace violence.. cuz i really was ready to "holly get your gun".. NOT that i condone that..just a fantasy..

the sad part is, it's only going to get worse as more and more aging baby boomers hit the retirement age still wanting their independence but needing a little help. it's the old "role reversal" in the parent becomes the dependent.
