We brought some morning tea for us this morning and i brought her a custard tart

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Both mum and my family feel that way too @Bunniekins her marbles are relatively intact for age and it is her body letting her down too. She regularly has skin cancers removed (including 2 melanomas) and has had a few falls in the last year or two, a more recent one resulting in a dislocated shoulder, she has osteoporosis so fortunately there was no fracture.

@Shaz51 Wasnt your mum getting a scooter at some stage?

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

My mum still gets out and about @Bunniekins @Shaz51 , she does not want a scooter.

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

There are supports that will visit her at home. Have you organised those things. It will reduce the pressure on you. @Shaz51

I had some call me but I was too young.

@Former-Member @Shaz51 Those scooters can be a bit scary in the wrong areas. Where my mum lives she says when people use scooters on the footpaths they nearly knock you off the path :o!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

mum has a scooter @Bunniekins , and she recharges it every week but she woun`t go out anymore , she finds a excuse not to go anywhere @Appleblossom , @Former-Member , @eth
