Oh Dinah,
I feel for you. It's such a dilemma and care for older adults is so hard to find, even if your dad were to accept it.My mom is going to have hip surgery soon. She needed to do this at least 12 years ago. I washed my hands of the topic a couple of years ago after nagging her on and off forever. She now chooses this time, when I am so heavy into my dissertation and so close to the end of the road that I can taste the dust on it, to ask me to help her.
AAAAGHH!
Parents!
Please take care of yourself and do what is best for yourself and for your husband and son.
I'll add my hugs ((((Dinah)))) and my prayers for your parents.
