Journal Entry 15-Elder Care Paranoia

Been back almost two weeks and I am stressed.  It is my own paranoia though.  I am just expecting that phone call about Mom.  Just paranoia.

I was told today by my cousin that my Mom is going to have to get someone to take her to church on Sundays.  Currently Jackie,  the attendant for my aunt takes both my mother and my aunt to church.  Maureen is the main lady who helps my mother and has been assisting since October.  While I was in Florida I helped my mother in and out of the wheelchair and got her into the church.  After I left I was told Jackie would help.  I thought it was a bad idea.  One lady helping two wheelchair bound seniors was bound to be too much.  I figured that once or twice a month Maureen would assist.  Now I have to have that conversation with Mom.  It won't be too hard but I hate to disappoint her. In order for her go to church she is going to have to fork over close to $40 more dollars a week.  It's not the end of the world but to the person having to pay that and it already seems a lot to be paying $370 a week, to have to pay $400 is going to cause a problem.
