HI guys!
been busy dealing with my older sister and her health issues...sucks getting old, becoming arthritic and inflexible, losing your physical strength, mobility and vitality...which causes falls that lead to head injuries that lead to dementia and declining mental capacity...had to adjust her assisted living service level/schedule...mo money, of course...glad my wife is willing to manage my sister's personal business affairs and communications with her health care providers at Kaiser and elsewhere...I'm the logistics guy: have car will travel...
exhausting trying to get her to do the exercises recommended by Kaiser's physical therapists... trying to get her enrolled in an at-home physical therapy service to try to improve her leg and arm and core strength and balance...she'll prolly listen to and obey a stranger...maybe that will reduce the number of falls...and also enable her to get up when she falls, hopefully...
trying to arrange her place to make it safer and easier for her to get in and out of chairs, bed, bathroom, etc...
Big sister is more like a big kid nowadays, one who can't take care of herself...heartbreaking...
hope that merry-go-round isn't what's ahead for me, or any of you here in the CBid community, in the near future...
