My mother was so independent through her '80s and early '90s. She wanted to get out and do! But, as more falls, etc. happened -- with 2 sons and a daughter --- she'd ask me " Can you......!?" And I thought, "Finally I can wait on you as you did me!"<br /><br />I was a SAHM, and didn't work outside my home.<br />Culture has been changing. During my 51 years of marriage, with two children, in a small GI house, we had all four parents come live with us at times---(not all at once!) But it never occurred to us not to be there for them. <br />Our daughter died in her 30s. Our son's main focus is on his own wife and children, as it should be. Her mother lives in the mother-in-law suite. He's been very good to us, too. But I don't expect our D-I-L to look after to either one of us, if/when we need someone!<br />Thank heavens, though, for our children, huh!<br />Blessings---I'm so glad your S-i-L got you up and running again, and hope paīn lessens!<br />Bluebird49https://www.blogger.com/profile/01195892307835553912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684927768388749969.post-52500439629085855532017-11-14T13:22:30.203-05:002017-11-14T13:22:30.203-05:00Good morning Ernestine.

I know the fear of taking pain meds but sometimes we do more harm by not taking them. Pain can get beyond the beyond if we don't get on top of it. It is an individual decision but at some point or for a period time we need to release ourself from the stress that chronic pain brings to us. You continue to be in my prayers.<br />LenoraLenora, Scottsdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01306322468294803674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684927768388749969.post-54979199795571847322017-11-14T13:22:02.696-05:002017-11-14T13:22:02.696-05:00Good morning Ernestine.
