Just got back from my Mom’s after they discharged her from the hospital, but when I got there, her room was a mess. Turns out maybe someone from another floor might have flushed a wipe down one of the toilets, but at least it didn’t hold us up too much. There’s one problem yet to face though: on Friday, we’re expected to get 5 cm of snow, and we still haven’t got someone lined up for sure to plow Mom’s driveway if it happens. There’s going to be a lot to do, but I’ve been through this kind of thing before. Will keep you all posted!

So Mom is your responsibility some. Does that feel like too much? When my parents became needy, I’m afraid I left it up to my sister. I just felt I couldn’t handle it. I feel bad about it now but I really had problems of my own at the time.
I really feel like I don’t have much of a choice. Her health is failing, and I have to be at the ready. Admittedly, yes, at times it can feel like too much. But, it will be a relief once she finally does pass on.
What condition does she have? Do you have any siblings who can help?
She has lymphoma, but lately she’s had fluid in her left lung. I thought maybe you knew, but my brother, my only sibling has been helping as much as he can as well. He lives in Ontario, but he also has a lawyer lined up to help her get her affairs in order. He’s still waiting to hear back.

I’m glad it’s not dementia. That’s what would bother me the most. Apparently she lives alone. Have you done anything to change that?
My mom had lymphoma too but I’m so happy her cancer is in remission 
I can only say that I would like to extend @Leaf 's sentiments to you as well.
