Right when I started writing again, my 77 year old mom has a stroke. She’s okay. She spent 3 days in the hospital more for pneumonia than the stroke. Sadly, she has refused any physical therapy and gone right back to smoking! Seems like she’s determined to have a second stroke and there is nothing I can do about it.
Has anyone else dealt with an elderly parent who just will not follow doctor’s orders and take care of themself?

Good thing that your mom is now in good condition. Keep her healthy always.

At 77 I dont think you are going to change her. Glad she is doing good

That's a shame that your mother won't do anything to help herself. As you say, there is little you can do about it.
