Stuck in the middle with you

My mom went and had hip replacement surgery. Which puts her pretty much in recovery mode for the next several months. Right now she can't even be left alone.
Her SO's daughter is an RN and came to stay to help out.
Only her father ended up in the hospital with Ecoli bacteria in his blood stream the day after my moms surgery.
So I've been making a daily trek to my moms so Carole can go see her father.
He should be coming home today with a pic line so he can get his meds.
I now know what people are talking about when they say they are trapped between their kids and their parents being the care giver. Lucky for me 2 of mine are adults and the youngest is 16.
Although she has had some where she has had to be dropped of at or picked up from almost every day since this has been going on.
I think I have developed a permanent headache.

See, my solution was to move 1700 miles away from the parents and then make my kids move away from me. hehe I'm a sneaky bitch
