We had brought her over here because my aunt, who was trading off with me a week at a time, was no longer able to to contribute. So not her fault. She has macular degeneration. She finally got to a point that it became obvious that she really wasn't able to help. Brought Mom home with me at least until she was vaccinated. We are two weeks past that now. But no serious push to go home as of yet. This seems to be her new reality. But if I ask? Oh man, it's gonna be a knock down drag out with tears and everything. Hoping to just cruise at this pace and hopefully she forgets? I know that sounds shitty. But, well, I... Fuck I don't know. I never even had kids. This is so out of my wheelhouse, mama. I'm hoping in another 4-6 weeks we can start bringing in people to help.
