There may be a lot of listers like you, Jean.They gave my mother 2-3 weeks
to live so I brought her home to die. She lasted over 2 years! I'm glad I
did it, though. There were certainly many adjustments to make. My husband
could not run around the house in his underwear....we couldn't even have a
decent argument! And, in our case, having any kind of social life meant
getting a sitter, which wasn't always easy. You are fortunate your
mother-in-law is enjoying life.

I wish you luck!

Peggy

we are almost more of a mutual support/friendship list than anything else,
which certainly isn't trivial.

came to die- ostensibly, but is thriving and gaining weight and enjoying
life, so we have adjustments to make to what we thought of as short term
plans.
