We just got back from Bri’s dad’s house. Bri had to go over there twice today. His dad made an 8:15 doctor’s appt and Bri went with him and then went back to work. About 12:30, the phone rang here and ‘Pops’ had slipped off his bed and tried for ½ hour to get himself up to no avail. Bri came home to get his dad’s house keys and grab a sandwich. When we got there, Bri had to literally scrap his dad up off the floor. We had to locate a place that rented walkers. We also bought him a cane. This is fine and dandy, but Bri can’t be running back and forth to his house which takes 45 minutes to one hour to get there. He’s got to swallow his pride and accept help. He’s going to make Bri sick.

I can imagine how difficult it is on Brian and you to care for an ailing parent. My thoughts are with you. I hope you get some help soon because it will certainly run Brian down very quickly if he has to keep making that long drive.
I’m sorry you are dealing with this. I know all too well what it can be like. I spent much of my mid to late 20s helping to care for my grandmother until her passing just before I turned 31. Not fun. Not only is it difficult for the caretaker, but its difficult for the person needing care. Its heartbreaking to watch someone you love weaken and become dependent. Wishing you strength!
