She steadfastly refused to take care of herself and kept landing in the ER every 6 weeks or so. My sister and I finally had enough of it and laid into her about it. My brother, who lives out of town, was not privvy to our tirade until after the fact, and my mother ended up bringing him over to her side, for a little while. Once he saw the whole picture, he realized how serious the situation was. It was then, and only then, that my mother started to take her health more seriously. I guess what I'm saying is, that sometimes you have to be the parent to your own parent. They need to be hit over the head sometimes to get your point through.UnHoly Diverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187969959701732817noreply@blogger.com
