@Reidi_gul

She does not need help but she has certain medical conditions that if not taken care of right way would leave her confined to bed. This is the issue she is ignoring her health and avoids trips to hospitals. My bhabbis are also with my brothers in thise decision. The brother living across the street is not a good solution as he is a pilot and he is away most of the times and his wife is also working.

She was supposed to have a surgery in january but that had to be rescheduled because of certain other medical conditions… she never went back for the appointment untill my brother forced her. The doctor has strongly advised her to avoid certain activities and certain food but she never follows it. we dont want to uproot her we just want to make sure that she gets proper medical traetment. My father is 70 and it would be really unfair to him if we leave all the responsibility of taking care of her on him.

for now my younger brother has decided to take his annual leave but we want to take second opinion from doctors in islamabad.

Why don’t both brothers pitch in and hire a full time maid/care taker who will live with your parents? That way that maid/care taker can take are of the parents, do all the house work, and keep you and your brother informed as to what’s going on.

In this solution, your parents are still in their home (ie. in their own enviornment and don’t feel like they’re imposing on their sons)…and you and your brothers know that your parents are being taken care of.
