My Mom passed away earlier this year. She suffered a stroke some 14 or so
years ago and went downhill from there, eventually ending up in a nursing
home for the past 8 or 9 years. Even being at a nursing home took quite a
toll on me and my sisters with weekly visitations and making sure she was
being cared for properly.

Glad to hear your Mom is doing well Don. 91 years young............very
impressive.

Sorry to hear about your mom.
Mine took a stroke 3 months after moving in with me(Feb 2003).
Looked dicey in the hospital, but after 2 months there, she was able to
walk with a walker/rollator. She bought herself a good quality
wheelchair and a good rollator and has been doing pretty good. At this
point it's getting hard to get her to exercise (walk around the block
etc) because of knee problems. As long as she's able to feed herself
(not cook) and go to the bathroom, she great here.
I don't think too much about the next step ...putting her in a home...
We'll deal with that when the time comes.
