I don't get how being at the ER alone means you must be needy and alone. I know if I fell off something hard enough to warrant an ER trip I am probably going to be trying to keep them from calling DH as long as possible out of embarassment.

Moch..i read your post with interest..I am retired , live alone in a over 55 community. My neighbors and I are conscience of each other...the word for me is if by 3 in the afternoon my paper is still out you bang away till I answer the door, especially if my car is there. When I leave for a trip, I , and others tell some one we are going, sometimes one might forget to cancel the paper. That she was up set , tough, you did good and the only criticism I have, you waited to long , paper still out there, especially another delivered, she's not there , or something is wrong. Actually I have all the keys to Apts/condo's on my floor and a few know where I have a second key in my lock up where they can pull out from the bottom to get into my place. No answer from me , please check me out is our motto.

I think the '72 in Naggie's screen name is her year of birth, which would make her 38. I'm 40, but I don't think 60 is old by any stretch. Darn right it isn't seeing that I turn 60 this year. Heck inside my head I am still 25.

In my family, taking care of elderly parents is VERY important. My gramma is currently living with my mom. Gramma is 83. Grampa had lived with mom until his alzheimers become too intense/completely took him over, then he was moved to a home. (mom's parents divorced many years ago, had both remarried and had both lost their spouses not too long ago, but staying at mom's ended up being staggered....Grampa was moved to the care center, Gramma moved in a few months later) Mom has 3 sisters, none of them are/were interested in moving Grampa or Gramma in...one of whom never visits at all...ever.
We have already made plans for when my mom needs to be taken care of. My house, and BOTH of my brother's houses already have a room for mom. We all live within 10 miles of each other and joke about "well when she is annoying me too much, I'll drive her to your house for a couple of weeks....then you take her to little brothers house for a couple of weeks, then she can come back to me". Mom LOVES the idea and already knows that when it becomes necessary, she will be taken care of by her kids. My brothers and I consider it not just 'important', but it's our responsibility and one that we are more than willing to take on.

Whats with the crap on saying 60 isld, a bit of topic don't you think. She admitted she was by herself, my mother is 63 and has balance issues. I am not quite sure I said 60 was old, I think I said an older woman ie older than me. But I guess the other shit is par for the course for you guys.
AND btw DO U PEOPLE EVEN READ. In one post I stated I wasn't doing it now. And I also said that I would start by joining the elderly charities in existent at the time. YOu people must have blinders on, you must see my tag and get your bully sticks out.
