I miss having my own house and car, but I can always use the family cars when I need to. I go to church by myself and take my sister out to appointments, and I handle all my own finances. But my son has medical POA and can talk to my pdoc anytime there's a concern, and I allow him to check in with me if I'm acting like I'm not taking my meds. So it's a pretty good arrangement, and I don't know where I'd be without the two of them looking after me.

I told my daughter that when he stepdad dies she's got a new roommate coming in... me! I won't be able to afford living on my own and I'll have to live with a roommate or with my daughter and her husband. I hope I'll be a bit more independent by then so I can help with childcare and homecare....be a live in grandma.
