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.

That is the best way to do it Don. No one wants to see their loved one in
a nursing home and no use thinking about it.

Glad to hear she is still fairly capable of taking care of herself.
