How to take good care of the elderly?

It is often said that the more children are raised, the happier they are, and the more difficult it is for the elderly to raise. I was deeply moved by this sentence.

My parents-in-law only have two children, a daughter and a son. When my mother-in-law was in her seventies, she went out for a walk and was hit by a drunk driver. After her mother-in-law died, her father-in-law lived alone for more than twenty years. My father-in-law has always been in good health. He seldom sees a doctor and takes medicine, and he will play mahjong before he is 90 years old.

With the growth of my father-in-law's age, when he was nearly 90 years old, he once went to the hospital for a physical examination and found that his cerebellum was severely atrophied, saying that my father-in-law had Alzheimer's disease.

I remember once, my father-in-law went out for breakfast alone and couldn't find his way home. He walked into a big ditch three kilometers away from home and sat alone. It was seen by an uncle who went up the mountain to collect glue. When he saw his father-in-law sitting panting, he called 1 10 to call the police. It happened that a policeman knew her sister-in-law and sent her father-in-law home.

From then on, we never dared to let my father-in-law live independently. My sister-in-law bought a house in the city and moved away after retirement. The task of taking care of my father-in-law naturally falls on us. In those years, the unit's efficiency was not good, and I spent a lot of time at home. My husband told me that you should watch your father-in-law whenever you are free, and don't let him run around.

We are close to my father-in-law's house, just a row of houses, separated by several families. I took my father-in-law to the breakfast shop and had two other meals at our house. Worried that my father-in-law was confused and ran out, my husband put a bed in his room and slept with him at night.

From the day my husband ordered me to take care of his father, I felt a great responsibility, for fear that one day my father-in-law would get lost again. My kind neighbor asked me to install a tracker, let my father-in-law wear it on his hand, and connect our mobile phone with his tracker so that he can find it if he gets lost.

In case my father-in-law got lost, we went to the mobile phone store and bought a tracker. The tracker, like a watch, was worn by my father-in-law. This thing really works. Wherever my father-in-law goes, it can be displayed on our mobile phone. Since I have a tracker, I have been worried about my father-in-law getting lost all day, and my mood has relaxed a lot.

However, in late March of that year, one morning, I took my father-in-law out for dinner and went home early. When I found that I didn't have pocket money, I ran to the ATM of a nearby bank to withdraw money. When I got the money, I came home and found my father-in-law gone again. His tracker was also left on the table in the bedroom. Oh, my God, I'm so scared. I'll tell my husband that his father is lost again.

The two of us looked at it separately. We asked all the questions and looked at all the places. Riverside, nearby villages, supermarkets, farmers' markets ... I have searched everywhere I can think of. Husband walked back and forth for more than ten kilometers. I looked everywhere over and over again, at least not less than seven or eight kilometers. We found noon from morning, and we didn't see my father-in-law. Sister Chen, the neighbor, saw that we didn't even eat lunch to find our father-in-law. She quickly reminded us, or call the police! Looking everywhere like this, when can I find it? I have no choice but to report to the local police station.

After calling the police, we continued to look for it. It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and I haven't found my father-in-law yet. My husband had to call my sister-in-law and tell her that my father-in-law had lost it. Sister-in-law Jinghong is not too far from us, about 200 kilometers, but the road is not easy. Sister-in-law's son and husband are back, arriving at about 5: 30 in the afternoon. After the sister-in-law family came, they also helped us find our father-in-law.

At the end of six o'clock, I suddenly got a call from police officer Xu of the police station. Police officer Xu told us that my father-in-law was in the nearby river, and my brother called the police. Police officer Xu said that the fishing brother saw his father-in-law stay in the river for a long time and felt very strange before calling the police.

By the time we got to the river, the police had fished my father-in-law out of the river. I saw my father-in-law soaking in the river for a day, pale, with purple lips and dying. We rushed him to the hospital for emergency treatment, which only escaped.

My father-in-law found it, and my hanging heart relaxed. Otherwise, what will my husband and sister-in-law think of me! Will you blame me for intentionally losing my father-in-law? I think, when will this be the end! I really don't have the courage to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding my father-in-law. Our neighbor suggested that we be sent to a nursing home, but my husband thought about it and disagreed. For the sake of my husband and sister-in-law, I think my father-in-law once subsidized my son's college tuition. On second thought, even if it is difficult, I have to take care of my father-in-law, which is our responsibility as children. We should not be ungrateful people, but learn to be grateful.

In the next few years, with the growth of my father-in-law's age, my energy was not as strong as before, and I watched it closely, so my father-in-law ran out less often and so far. My husband Qi Xin and I took care of my father-in-law together until he died at the age of 96.

Our parents raised us from childhood, and our adoptive parents were old. On the way to take care of our parents, no matter how difficult we encounter, we can't shut our parents out. As children, we should do our duty, take good care of them and make them worry about food and clothing.
