my elderly parents
I think I'm okay posting in this thread. I'll give it a go anyway and someone tell me if it's not the right thing to put in this thread.
Isn't it hard when your parents get old. Both my parents are 89 this year and my poor old Dad can't walk or stand, he has carers in 4 times a day but even so he's quite lucky as he's got family all around him and we are all very supporting towards him. I go up as much as I can to help them, I only live about 10mins car drive from them, one of my brothers lives opposite them, and my other brother lives about 20 mins car journey away. I go up every Thursday morning as Mum has her hair done at the hairdressers and is gone about 90 minutes. Dad is very young at heart and he is very lucky as he has still got all his marbels (if you know what I mean). Mum's not too bad but she has got part heart failure and her legs aren't too good with arthritus, she's also on the ball. Anytime they need help they know they only have to ring one of their children and help is there straight away.
