I know! My mil has a state of the art walker, very zippy. If anyone should be using it, it's her. But....no. Doesn't need it "yet." I look for the blessings. Both mom and mil are doing okay, as in not bedridden, no congestive hear failure, no copd. You know, really, really sick.
Yet.
And they are both reasonably cheery, not too grumpy, and pleasant to be around. And appreciative, for the most part, of the help that I, my spouse, my bro, and my sil offer.
But, yah, it will get worse. I know. Peace.
