Bringing in some kind of third-party expert/coordinator may cost extra but may pay off both for you AND your parents.
If only that would work. It's worth calling my mother's PCP, I suppose, but in general Mom's been suspicious & distrustful of everyone on this topic. Although she is in general very respectful of actual doctors, even though she never follows their advice.
javachik, that's awesome and I'm sorry.
I *love* reading on the Kindle. I didn't expect to, but I do.
I hoped I would, but it hasn't grabbed me. That may yet change. We'll see.
It's really great when I read while eating or standing on BART because it eliminates the whole "keeping the pages down" issue. I really didn't think I'd like it either, but I've found it very convenient.
Good luck with your parents, Consuela. I hope it doesn't turn out to be too stressful.

Hubby was sure I'd get tired of my Nook, but it's become one of those things that I get antsy not to have within arm's reach, like my Palm--and for the same reason. Fic! Must have fic in case I get five seconds to read something.
I thought the Barbie head was creepy.
You guys, technology is magic. My cat just walked over my computer and locked the trackpad. So using tab and whatever, I googled the problem and found the answer (fn + F9) super easily! Phew. I was scared.
Good luck with all of it, Consuela. I can't believe the shit with your job.

There's a part of me that wants to watch ita and Pete play board games, but only if I'm not participating and am at a minimum safe distance.
