Hi,
I got mum who is 70 of age. unfortunately she has been recently being diagnosed with COPD . for the last 1 1/2 years , she threw tantrums most of the time.
it's very hard to anticipate her wants and needs because she always fine something wrong with her surrounding. I used to be able to tolerate her but unfortunately; lately, I have not been able to do that very well .
Anyone can share similar experience in in handling the elderly? A few tips are warmly welcomed. thank you

QUOTE(rinsedpie @ May 28 2020, 03:07 AM) do you wish to send her to old folks home or do you plan to try your best to look after her yourself at home? her copd: is she on inhalers or nebulisers now. hope she has stopped smoking. She's currently being warded at the hospital, probably will be discharge in 1 or 2 days... I have arranged for her an oxygen concentrator.. hopefully she will be ok. I also take a maid service to look for her. it's costing me quite a bit but the maid helps with work around the house also. So, quite ok She had stop smoking since probably a few months ago.. but I guess if she doesn't have access to oxygen concentrator she will be hardly move around
