[QUOTE="Profreedomokie, post: 3820104, member: 524"] My mother is 90 and my stepdad just turned 97. All of our families live in Virginia and we're here in Ok. My folks had a home in the country where my mother fell on their back steps. She was lucky she didn't break a hip which usually a life ending in a nursing home. The fall damaged her back and she has been in a lot of pain ever since. My brother called us and asked us to come home last Feb. to convince my folks to move into a senior living complex, so we did. They moved into the complex and my mother has regretted it ever since. Their house was too big for her to keep cleaning and my stepdad was still cutting the yard and having a garden. My stepdad's shoulders and knees have about zero cartlidge left in them so he can barely walk because of the pain. His short-term memory is about zero and my mother's memory is starting to go. My stepdad has given up driving but, my mother still does short local drives around town. My brother and his wife take them anywhere they need to go whenever possible. I wished we lived closer to them but, we have been in Ok. since 1978 and our lives are here. I call my mother every other day and plan to visit more often now that I'm retired. It is sad to see people you love going downhill health wise but, I guess that life and not much you can do about it. [/QUOTE]
