I am so sorry that I did not get back t...Dear Dana,<br />I am so sorry that I did not get back to you sooner . We were away at my son's wedding. Thank you o much for your good wishes. I am also so sorry to hear about your mother and your sisters accusations. It seems like many siblings go through . I hear about it constantly in my Alz Support group. Maybe you can look for one to join for I find it such a safe supportive place. Mine is with my local NYC Alz Assoc .My mom is in what they call a Merry Walker. Her nursing home has allowed 2 of the residents to use them although they are against "state guidelines". Yes we could have put mom in a newer facility yet they would have put her is a wheelchair. My brother & I know how fortunate we are and believe that my mom gets the best care possible given the circumstances. Her NH is in Ft Lauderdale.

I am one lost soul as I was dedicated to her for the last 8 years. She came to stay with me 8 years ago beause my sister was throwing accusations that I was in town to steal my mother's money...the accusation came from my BIL who saw mother and me in her bank...she had not been diagnosed yet...we were there because she wnted to "just close her account." It did not take rocket science to figure out that this needed to be checked out because I knew she received social security income and two small pensions. Had I not been there she might have closed that account and created a real mess and given her condition (likely stage 4) no bank teller would have been able to convince her otherwise. I am impressed tht her facility keeps her moving; is it a NH or other? It would be quite esy for the facility to plop her in a wheelchair...you are lucky. Can you explain a bit about this? My sister's rage was intense toward me and in the final analysis she aandoned me and mom entirely after aout 1 year of mom living with me. Mom lost not only her youngest daughter but the two grandchildren due to the estrangment- I fet so hurt and sad for my sweet mother. Congratulations on the wedding and cheers to your mom!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174855780990990233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463278702289836291.post-41268662769963421622015-09-20T08:36:30.198-04:002015-09-20T08:36:30.198-04:00Carol so perfect because I am wearing a bracelet t...Carol so perfect because I am wearing a bracelet that was my mom's ...funny because I feel that you & I think & feel alike. xoxo LisaAlzheimer's My Mom My Herohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521298907696128213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463278702289836291.post-13458743112267866942015-09-19T17:03:10.003-04:002015-09-19T17:03:10.003-04:00Dear Lisa
