Sue: Nothing political here, just dealing with eldercare issues, and feeling pretty sad. Took my beautiful now 85lb mom to a nursing home today. She's been living on her own for the last year, doing very well, with lots of family support. Pneumonia and a bad fall have changed everything for her. Her six children were making plans to have mom stay with each one for a month, to see where she felt most comfortable since she couldn't very well continue on her own. This was not anything I was counting on. Hope she's ok tonight.

Question: Anyone in the same situation as Sue, with an older parent who can no longer take care himself/herself/themselves?
