Stress filled day

Apr 14, 2010

Went to rehabilitation today to plan out my moms release (medicare runs out 4/27) - Mom is walking with a walker, but can't dress herself or get up steps we need to get a ramp in front of their house, alter the bath so because she can't lift her legs to get in to the shower/ tub, take her bed out and put it in my basement because to make room for a hospital bed - I wind up being the coordinator and the peacekeeper all the time - everyone is stressed my father is stressed because he can't handle my mom alone, my mother is stressed because she can't take care of herself, my brothers are stressed because they actually need to step up (well, that's not fair, I have one that always steps up, one that would if he lived in this state and has traveled in to help recently and one that just wants to write a check and make it all go away and tell everyone what they should do without actually taking action on his own).  I am stressed because I am trying to smooth over the hightened sensitivities - I am looking forward to May

am most worried about Mom getting home, not doing what she is supposed to and winding up in the same situation again

felt better just venting in writing
