To the Editor,
Mom passed in 2013 after spending 2006-13 in an Iowa care facility. She had many illnesses including colon cancer, congestive heart failure, and a rare disorder that wouldn’t allow my sister and I to care for her ourselves. She gradually lost the use of her major muscle groups and became wheelchair bound. Ultimately she couldn’t turn over in bed or go to the bathroom unassisted. My sister and I were working full-time.
