His sense of balance was gone, and my mother was the only one whom he trusted to transfer him. He hated the Sit to Stand lift that we ended up getting for him, but he was a very big man and it was becoming impossible for him to transfer him on her own any more.<br />One time I was staying with him so she could go out for a while, and I am grateful that my ex husband (who has simply become family to me in the years since we divorced) was there with me, or I couldn't have transferred him to the commode when he needed to go. He kept yelling "I'm going to fall!"<br />The resources that are available for elderly family members are a godsend, but there need to be more of them and they need to be free of charge. The elderly are the most quickly growing population in the United States, yet their needs are greatly underfunded and under-addressed.Ornery Owl of Naughty Netherworld Press and Readers Roost https://www.blogger.com/profile/07596105116325246476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19255072.post-74991446850570855822016-08-02T08:55:51.038-04:002016-08-02T08:55:51.038-04:00Rough to read, must be hard as hell to live.
