Subject: My Mom in the Hospital

I may be new here but I have enjoyed the dialogue about our life experiences.

As the title says, my mom is in the hospital with a bladder infection. Hopefully she will come home tomorrow.

Some background: She will be 83 in July and she suffers from Alzheimers. She can't be left alone and my sister and I are her caregivers.

When you are young, your parents take care of you. When parents are elderly, the children take care of the parents. My advice to you young people on here is to cherish the time you have and continue to make memories.

Special advice for Joel. Don't ever allow your dad to use the paddle Kyle made for you on anyone else. You and your dad made a memory that evening that I'll never experience. And I would exhort all of you to remember the life lessons you are learning now. I lost my father in 2007 at age 91 and I don't know how many more years my mother has left.
