God what a week!
I have been around just not saying much.
My Mom fell again ( the last time the day after Christmas) I had to leave work to beat feet to the Hospital because my daughter couldn't get her off the floor.( She'd left work to ride to the rescue because Mom couldn't remember my dh's cellphone number)
We've been house hunting and talking to our bank about our options for moving her in with us.
The idea is making my head hurt.Our house is totally unsuitable for walker access.
We've found out just how hard it is in our area to find a house with no stairs or a bed and bath on the ground level with the living area.
I just quit my job too, so I could spend more time helping her out. You know trying to keep her in her own apt as long as possible by cleaning up and doing her laundry etc.
Anyway she had a procedure the other day that's hopefully gonna help with the legs giving out, and will be in rehab for several weeks. That gives us some breathing and research space to explore all the options.
House hunting has always been an adventure , to see all the possibilities and then find out the problems are the same everywhere.
However, I can see my independence slipping away already. Being an only my Mom has always tried to *um shall we say guide my life choices in the direction she thought they should take other than my own. Funny though, now she begins to see why I married the man I picked instead of her preference. All these years she talked him down and even tried to turn our oldest daughter against him (only screwed up their relationship to the point she didn't even want to see her) and now finally when he takes charge of all the things that need to be done and invites her into our home does she understand.
I hope I can be as forgiving if she goes back to her old ways.
Enough whining, on the important stuff. I'll be home more so, I think I'm gonna try to do icons of the week for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Just say the word and I'll try to tell you how.(using PS 7.0 and Image Ready) Not sure about others, but we can give it a shot.
