Nursing Home Blues

Nursing Home Blues I sent mother to a nursing home, she didn´t want to go but I ignored her wishes, we often do that when concerning old people, we say it is for their own good, but the truth is I didn´t know what else to do. Mother became quite rebellious they called me from the home she was throwing food about and demanded, when she evacuated, that an assistant come and dry her bum. Wanted to go home, there was no home she had lived in a rented flat and someone else lived there. When she knew she she felt betrayed, her silence was damning. She stopped eating, gaunt, a skeleton before death came as a relief. Now that I´m old too families telling me I should not ride on my scooter in case I might fall off…like should I care.
