My mother's death

[jmauldin]

Thanks to all for your sympathy and prayers. Mother was a very "spunky" lady. She was blind and very hard of hearing, yet lived alone (next door to me). She got around on a walker, but fell in Sept. and broke her hip. It went downhill after that. I had no choice but to place her in a nursing home here in Mt. Airy. She was in the same "home" that my wife is in (She is in the early stages of dementia, as well as recovering from a broken leg. She, too, is on a walker) From the end of May until placing them in the nursing home I was taking care of both of them as best I could. It finally got too much for me (I lost 25 pounds) and had no choice but to place them in the "home".

Anyway, thanks again for your concerns and prayers. I am doing "okay", just need a little vacation to sort it all out and regroup.

Sorry for your loss, Jim. You noted that your mother was a spunky lady. I now know where you got the trait from. :thu:
