Kathleen, while I know you are on crutches, perhaps this slower pace was intended for you to have time to just sit and be with your parents. Praying you are able to find some peace with all that's happening in your life right now.

I toally agree about being plopped into something new. We went through similar when Mom was diagnosed with cancer, and now again with my FIL and Alzheimer's.

There are still gifts along the way. We visited my FIL later than usual last night and found him to be in great spirits. Though he was confused, he was very pleasant and loving; wanting everything to be okay with loved ones. It was very sweet.

Look for the good!
