My Dads Wife
by Susan
My Dad now at the age of 90 needs help rehabbing his leg strength in order for them to work. I hadn't seen either of them for 8 weeks & I'm shocked he couldn't walk...He has called and asked me to come help with rehab (I'm a retired RN) but trying to get through to his wife, who at one time famous, that they need someone to help them and family support is very important for them both...Anyone have any suggestions?? I feel like I'm walking on broken glass and very tired of hearing how his wife is a very private person...Which has gotten both of them into this situation..My Dad was always a social person & very active in the family business until his wife wanted to move away to "her home" which is at least 5-6 hr flight from family. They don't do anything social nor stimulating..Our Dad stopped walking because she doesn't like being alone, hence our current situation...Help! |
