You are a wonderful child to your parent.
It is hard.
This spring, I saw my mom turn from a fairly active, self-sufficient, independent person into a completely immobilized shadow of her self, suffering agonizing pain, unable to sit up, unable to read, unable to do much of anything. Thankfully, her vertebra fractures are healing and she is beginning to resume some normal functioning. It is scary and frustrating to see.
But you are wonderful to be so devoted and *present* both physically and emotionally. I hope you'll get the support you need through this.
