Not alone, I didn't motivate very early and I am now 2.5 hours from home helping my mother-in-law that I took to the ER on Monday for back pain in a muscle on the left side. She's 89. Anyway CTs and MRIs are showing a burst fracture at T10 with possible cancer as the cause of the weakening. Ugh. And my bil and his family are coming on the 22nd for Christmas and my mil has been down for 3 weeks with her back pain, so nothing done here either. Oh well, I've got more i.Portland things to deal with. (((Hugs))) Why on earth is your BIL and his family traveling to your place for Christmas when all of this is going on with your MIL? It is his mother, isn’t it? BIL and his wife managed to get Christmas off awhile ago. They don't go on vacation very often. BIL was super helpful when she had her knee replacement in August, so I expect he will helpful, as will my SIL. It will be chaotic, but their kids aren't little and the dog is superbly well behaved. Can you hear me talking myself into Thad idea that this will all work out. Lol I really think mil would become depressed if his family didn't come. She is very much looking forward to it. It's 3 of her 4 grandchildren. I keep telling myself that this too will pass.

I hear that it is a double-edged sword - lots of benefits for your MIL - which is good - but also a lot of extra work for you. You are a wonderful DIL. 🥰
