Carenote from Judy

Welcome to CareNotes. In this special section we will feature a reader's letter and provide an opportunity for an interactive exchange that will help find some answers and possible solutions to concerns.


What to Do?

I am trying to care for my sister, 96 pounds and fragile. Three years ago, she had a hip replacement and now has to have a revised hip replacement. She just barely walks. I came from Dallas to cook and clean and take care of her dog. 

Nothing I do is good enough or suits her. I opened the blinds too much, I didn't clear the microwave, I didn't wake up at 6:30 a.m. when she yelled at me to go the bathroom. I am at my wits end and am resenting her. I miss my friends and grandchildren at home. She is even bad mouthing me to her two friends. If she has her surgery in Dallas, after therapy, she will be staying with me indefinitely. She will have my room and I will have to sleep on the floor with a very bad back.  What to do?
