I posted in Chat a couple of years ago (when it went poof after 90 days) and so cannot identify the poster in question to PM.
I don't remember the exact nature of my post - but it was about an elderly mother in failing health struggling to look after herself but in denial. And how she would cope following discharge from hospital.
A poster then recommended the Home Instead care agency. Which I did check out and speak with their local office but had to file away as mother was adamant she needed no help.
But last year, after a particularly bad fall and when mother recuperated at my home, she could see how upset I was at the prospect of her going home, unattended. And she agreed to have a daily visit at lunchtime from the carers at Home Instead.
She says she's doing it for me, not because she needs any carers and she's fine without them - but whatever her rationale, the end result is the same.
Not really quite sure why I'm posting. But if the poster in question is on this board, thank you.
