Long ago, I guess when mom and dad turned 80 (in the early 2010s) or even sooner, I would drive that horrible beltway from Virginia to Annapolis and go to moms doc appointments and dad was rather simple, I would just look at his bloodwork.

Long ago, I guess when mom and dad turned 80 (in the early 2010s) or even sooner, I would drive that horrible beltway from Virginia to Annapolis and go to moms doc appointments and dad was rather simple, I would just look at his bloodwork. Maryland doctors enjoy sharing their patients with their best friends and they all get rich. Mom and dad each had about 5 doctors and on numerous meds for years
My story is long, but I will say, mom had a stroke in 2013. I moved my parents to Virginia for in home rehab (Capitol Home Health Care- they no longer exist but wow they were exceptional)
Then they moved to a fancy expensive neighborhood and lived to 94 (mom and 99.5 dad.
Last thing. If you go to the ER: Go by ambulance. You will not sit in a waiting room for hours.
Yes, We are the children of these loved ones, and even other loved ones that are not our parents. We need to listen and take notes. Gosh, those were the days. My daddy went to Heaven in 2023... seems like yesterday to me, Mom, it seems like she has been gone for so long but it has been 6 years,
My siblings helped very little. I am grateful that God gave me these parents and that I and my husband had the gift of caring for them.
When I moved them to Virginia, I took the initiative, you have to, to get them off the blood thinners and the other non sense garbage pills. When they are 90, one needs to be well hydrated, keep an eye on the kidney function. Looking back, it was a lot to do
Oh my.
