You need to spread out the doctor's appointments.  What condition requires so many doctor appointments, and apparently so close together?  

You also need to take control of the situation and establish guidelines and get out of the Cinderella mode.

Even if it's difficult b/c she's your mother, you're going to have to stand up for yourself, establish guidelines, and stand firm.   Otherwise, you'll continue to be exploited.

Don't think in terms of "I can't", but "how can I", and in terms of changing the situation. 

Sorry to be so blunt, and it's not done intentionally to hurt or shame you,  but perhaps it can act as a wake-up call and call for action, which only you can initiate.   You'll feel better when you do so, and it's clear that your "no life" now feeling isn't a positive one.    Think of yourself and what you want and need, and how compromise can be implemented so the IMPORTANT and NECESSARY trips can be made, but with outside assistance.

Contact the local Area Agency on Aging to see help they can provide; contact the County Senior services as well.   The community Senior Center can also be of help.
