FROM CALIFORNIA

Hi there, I'm currently taking care of my mother. She is just getting older and not able to do anything on her own. She suffered a stroke about a year ago and hasn't been the same. She has a hard time remembering things I've said only five minutes ago. She's very unstable to even walk on her own she had a few falls in the fast few months in her home and outside her doctor's office. It's very hard to see my mom start to "go down hill" it tears me up even saying that.
