Nawwwww thank you ❤️ I try to keep in mind that she's not choosing to be this way, it's the unfortunate condition her brain is in. It's helps me to be kind and patient. And yes, that damn Singapore shirt 😂😂😂

I can feel the worries ! My mother lives on her own despite her mobility and her head are not as good as before, I live in another country. Every time I could not reach her on the phone (and it is very often, as she is not tech savvy and often does not even hear the phone) I worried and could not give it a rest.

Since beginning of this year I bought a armband which monitors some of her vitals and can send an automatic alarm if she falls on the floor and/or she does not move. The armband does not tell me what happened, but it still changed my life: if no alarm is active, I can relax when she does not answer the phone knowing that there is nothing wrong.
