My 85 year old mother had a minor heart attack due to COPD complications. She is refusing to allow others to cook meals for her. She lives alone. She eats well for breakfast and lunch, but generally has very little at dinner. She is Five Foot 3 inches tall and weighs only 103 pounds. She is still very weak and tired from the heart attack but does not want anyone to help her.
Kind of rude if they're at your door.
Yes, a heart attack will make someone very weak and tired. I remembered my Dad could barely walk after his minor heart attack years ago. It took him many years to get back to being more active... but now his age has caught up with him. I figure at his age, let him do what he wants [I know it is hard for us to put on the brakes as we want to see our parents active again].
Even when my dad moved to AL, we kept the Caretakers too . Our goal was for one yr till he adjusted to the AL...
