Is it really not easy to serve the elderly?

When we got married, my mother-in-law was in her early sixties, and her father was the youngest in the family, with two brothers and a sister on it. My mother-in-law is eighty this year, because she fell off a tricycle last year and suffered a serious waist injury. Then she put on a piece of ointment and moved her hand. After all, she is old and the effect is not very good. Now she can move slowly with crutches, but she can't control her urine. Later, she could only use adult diapers. In my hometown, there is a public servant, because public servants can't stay. They love wandering around all day and can't cook, so I invited the old lady to come here during the Spring Festival and stayed here for more than 20 days, which made me deeply realize that it is not easy to serve the old people. It is said that it is difficult to be old, and it really is!

Actually, my mother-in-law is fine. After all, she can walk slowly with crutches and eat by herself, but her right arm is injured and she can't lift it. She can't change diapers herself. What I do is to get up early every day to change her diapers, wash her dentures, prepare meals for her, help her go out after dinner when the weather is good, and help her take off her coat when she sleeps, all of which are trivial things. When Guoguo sent her back, school was about to start, and she was anxious to go home. Honestly, I'm really relieved to send her away. I used to think I was a very filial person, and I would be very patient when I waited for the elderly. But what if the mother-in-law is completely incapable of managing her own life, eating and drinking Lazarus? How long can I take care of her? Honestly, I don't know. I used to hear people say that "there is no dutiful son in a hundred-day bed", but how is it possible? It's normal to take care of children when people are old! Now it seems really not that simple.

Taking care of mother-in-law is a big problem in the following aspects:-Taking care of the elderly is not only to take care of their diet and daily life, but also to make them feel happy. Like my mother-in-law, she is a type with a bad attitude and will say, "Why don't you die? Living like this will bring trouble to children! " Actually, she just needs company. Someone watched TV with her, someone talked and chatted with her, and there were many people sitting together talking and laughing at home, and she was in a good mood. But after all, there are too few such companies to do it. You can't stay at home with her every day without going to work! Therefore, it is very important for the elderly to have a positive, optimistic and cheerful attitude. Of course, it is better to be a daughter, guide them properly and spend more time with them!

Second, we should do more exercise and let her do something that she can do and is interested in. When my grandmother was a child, I wanted to find some books for her to read, and I found her a sacred book and a fruity extracurricular book. She forgot all the words and didn't know them. Later, I asked her to see a play. She used to like watching plays. Occasionally, she likes to understand, but after listening for a while, she doesn't like it and falls asleep on the sofa! There is an indoor table tennis toy at home. I usually don't like to play at the thought of slapping my arm and forging my arm. It is not good for him to rub his fingers and pat his arms to exercise. She is particularly inactive, and she either sits and watches plays or sleeps most of the day. So I haven't found anything that she likes and can exercise!

Therefore, it is really not easy to wait for the elderly, and it is even harder for them to get good care of their body and mind! I hope all the old people can be treated gently!
