Frannie is incontinent and mom is coming home

These are highlighted as the issues I dealt with today.  Took Frannie (the black lab aka devil dog) to the vet this morning…the holistic vet…he is not sure what is wrong with her especially since she is so young..started her on new dog food, gave her some bladder enhancing herbs and said to see how that works.  Then we went to see mom aka grandma.

She tells me today that she IS going to leave the nursing home and that Aunt Frances IS going to move here and they are going to live together.  Don’t quite know what to do.  Mom is 89 and Aunt Frances is 91 and I’m the adult.  Half of me says – okay…let her live out her last days at home..the other part says…this is just ridiculous..I’ll give her 2 days before she falls again and breaks something and ends up back in the hospital/nursing home.  But, is this really a decision I have to make.  Mom’s mind is pretty good it is just her body and bones that are not good.  I won’t feel ANY guilt if she doesn’t last long at home…this is strictly their decision.  I can’t figure out how it is going to work.  They can’t be in the same room for more than 2 hours before they start bickering…how are they going to live together…once again, I ask.  Why is this my problem?

Until next time…..

  1. Oh, honey,I feel for you. We’re not quite there yet, but will be. Both our moms have the same ailments but both have always eaten right and taken care of themselves. My dad died in ’96; Hubs’in 2001. With them,it was more their mannerisms that have come out in the kids that makes me nostalgic for them. Neither one of them cared about any particular thing.
