My mom is on two medications for her bowels due to diverticulitis. Lately she's been having diarrhea once a week. I'm not sure if I should tell her to call the family doctor to discuss or if I should step in and call myself. I don't want to over ride her independence, but I'm concerned she won't deal with the issue out of embarrassment.
I'll bet your mom will be relieved and receptive to your help.
As a parent myself, the thought of having to ask my sons for help is strangely embarrassing sometimes. But if something were to happen to me I'd never hear the end of it simply because I didn't reach out.
