Sitting in the ER with my mom and dad. Dad fell but he's okay because

Oh gee, @monicakm . I'm so sorry! My FIL was a Marine, so I understand. When my dad fell on a stone patio he didn't break a thing. But Mom broke several ribs when she fell on their tile floor. Sending you patience and wishes for a good diagnosis for dad.

I heard you should never say "was a Marine." It's always 'you ARE a marine'-always

@monicakm I'll keep them, and you, in my prayers.

Patience has never been my strong suit, either...I'm so grateful that we didn't have deal with dementia in any of ours. For their sakes and, selfishly, for mine!

@Judaline

He "was" a Marine because he passed away 3 years ago (6 weeks short of his 98th birthday!). Past tense for people who have departed.

If anything will teach you patience, it's dealing with two parents with dementia but patience has never been a shining personality trait of mine. One is easy going but can't remember anything and the other is very confused and in denial/angry. As of this morning, they are both in the hospital

Oh @monicakm , I'm so sorry to hear that. My DH is in the early stages of Alzheimers and I can tell that he is going to be like your dad - confused and in denial/angry. Unfortunately, just like you, I'm short on patience. Not a great combination. I'll keep your parents in my prayers.

Awww, so sorry. That was very insensitve of me. I just didn't think.

@monicakm @Oh my, when it rains it pours. Sometimes it's a cascading series of issues and it sounds like that's where you are right now. I wish I could help. Guess all I can say is that you're so in my thoughts even though we've never met and I hope things calm down for you and your family. Take the best care you can of yourself! Love, thoughts and prayers. Xo

@monicakm @Yes, I know something of what you're going through. My parents were 90 and 94. They had health problems of course, not dementia though. I was a caregiver for each of them and knew it was a privilege to be able to do it, but it took a toll. Still I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat to have them back as long as they didn't suffer, and that wouldn't have been possible. So I take comfort from knowing they're back together and in a better place. I miss them every day.

Sounds like your parents are in a wonderful place. It's great that your daughter was able to help so much!

Thats Me · ‎03-09-2010

@monicakm @Yes that was a lot for you to process and handle. It would be a lot for anyone. I guess it's never easy but still. Some times are especially hard.

Be good to yourself and take the best care that you can!
