Thank you so very much. I sure do need this. You see I have my Mom (88) and my sister who is legally blind & slow learner now living with me (1 1/2 yrs now) There are some days that I just want to run away. Mom had a stroke before she came here, that's why she is here. She now has trouble walking, arthur, she just doesn't want to help herself. She has fallen 3 times in the past month & all 3 times I have had to get her up by myself as DH wasn't home. Last sat getting out of the shower she went down & really hurt my wrist. I am saying to myself that I can't do this & hurt myself. I now have bleeding ulcers from worrying about what I will have to do with her. I feel so quilty even thinking about putting her in a nursing home, but she is a big woman & I am rather small & I just can't lift on her. Oh if she would just want to help herself & walk more so she doesn't get so she can't. Dr told her she needs a hip replacement. She has both knees replaced. I just don't know what to do.
Reading this poem makes me want to get in her mind & see what she is thinking. She is sharp & has no mental problems, just doesn't want to walk.
Thanks for the poem & letting me vent too. Sorry this is so long. Donna, The Rustic Quilter
