  Given my mom’s current health situation, we have received a few advices from friends and professionals that we should admit our mother to a nursing home.  My mother’s wish is to be at home no matter what.  In the past six months, my sisters and I set our mother’s health as our top priorities; we all take turns to provide 24 hour care.  Our stress is beyond descrīption when we still have a full time job to do.

  My mom is admitted in hospital this week.  While under professional care, she fell and broke her hip on Thursday.  Her current condition is not suitable for any surgery.  If we opt out surgery, mom would be in much more plain and she will be in bed 24x7 until she passes on. 

  We wish our mother will survive tomorrow’s surgery.  I am not blaming anyone for my mother’s injury, but it proves that even under professional care, my mom is still injured.  I hope those “caring individuals” will give us a pat on the shoulder instead of accusing us of not doing the best to care for our mom.

  因為母親已經朝向人生最後的一段道路﹐ 許多專業朋友或醫生認為母親住進入收容所或老人院是最理想的安排。他們也說了一些令我難堪的說話﹐一句傷害的說話﹐可以令我耿耿於懷。但是母親的意願是回家。 他們可知道如果我們安排母親住老人院﹐她一定會絕食。

  我們五姊妹在這半年內﹐每事以母親為前題。 讓母親享受有如二十四小時照顧﹐那壓力和配合不是局外人可理解，除非他們有我們的經歷。

  這星期母親再一次進入醫院﹐在專業環境和專業工作人照顧下﹐母親跌斷了臀骨﹔明天需要做接駁手術。 事實上﹐母親現在的情況是不適合做手術﹐ 但是不做的話﹐ 她前景是更壞。現在﹐我想反問這些朋友和醫生﹐為什麼我的母親在專業工作人照顧下還是會受傷？我不怪任何人﹐只是想證明這是命中注定。
