I wish your hubby would understand that your mother will not be around for a whole lot longer.

However maybe you can swing something when son comes over to help...

would I like being cared for...well, admittedly if I was quite disabled, I wouldn't mind a family member to assist in some basic stuff.

I guess for those of us who are childless, we know that we cannot imagine having someone younger from our family to visit us in nursing home, etc.

But it probably would be a lovely thing that there was someone who knew me well and cared enough to visit me occasionally. Every hermit wants some general companionship.
