is feeling Good
I live in a small town and work for a non-profit. I love my job. I moved back home to get out of the city and also to help my folks stay in their home. That was 10 years ago. My folks health has declined greatly in the last year or so. My dad has fought three types of cancer and is now being watched for Parkinson's Disease. My Mom has bad arthritis in her feet. She also has bad shoulders and hands. She is in the early stages of dementia. We are having difficulty (She and I). Looking for clues.
Camping, theater, teaching, women's hockey, cooking, travel.

I have voluntarliy moved back to my hometown to help my folks stay in their home. It has been relativiely easy until recently. My dad has bad atheritis in his knees and has fought three different kinds of cancer, most recently in the bladder. He has recently started showing sign of Parkinson's. My Mom has very bad arthritis in her feet, shoulders and hands. Her Doctor has told us that she is in the early stages of dementia. I have just begun to research this.

I moved back to my small hometown to help my folks stay in their home. I came back 10 years ago and their health was still very good. Now we are dealiing with cancer recovery, parkinson's, arthritis and demetia. The issues of siblings, power struggles, frustration are constant as is the feeling of gratitude at being able to care for them. strange mix.
