Welcome Mu!

My mother in law is arriving today. At 87 years old, 5 week her recovery from a fall breaking both of her arms just below the shoulder has been nothing short of miraculous! She is such a trooper. The day after the accident she was taking only Tylenol for the pain and not complaining one bit. She continues to amaze us all.

The topic of this blog is going to change a bit. I am hoping to chronicle the joys and pains of helping an aging parent, with many challenges. We are beginning a life phase that many others of our generation find themselves in. We are taking this new situation on filled with optimism, but tempered with realism. We know that some days will be better than others for Mom. She is facing big changes, some good some not so good. We hope this course we are on will allow her to have many more years of good life here in the sunshine.

I welcome anyone else who is or has been in this situation to share your stories and advice with us.
