Hi - it's good to see you back and finished with your hip surgery. I hope you have the results you wanted and no more pain, especially when you're on your feet.
It's so difficult to see our parents get older and frail. Your mom is very lucky that you and Mark are so caring and are there for her. For sure, though, you also have to take care of yourself.
Are you in touch with the Alzheimer's Association (alz.org) or a local hospital to see what is offered for respite care and family support groups? There might be help in addition to the woman who comes in when you work.
I am pain free as far as my hips go. Arthritis in my feet makes being on my feet not so fun after 8 hours. Can't win lol Taking in my Mom was all we could do. I told her the only other option would be a refrigerator box in the alley. That might be frowned on. Hugs back

Take time for yourself. So says the person who works non stop and never gets a day off. Do as I say not as I do.
