If I recall correctly, Pinky decided to take in Wheelchair Lady in 2010, and since then taking care of her has been Pinky's #1 priority. The Pinky Show has had to take a back seat to caregiving - which happens to be 24/7 work because Alzheimer's + Parkinson's disease + strokes is no joke - and I'm sure many of you have noticed that our output has really dropped off the past couple years.
However, to make a long story short, since Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are degenerative in nature, the caregiving was getting more and more intense and complicated. Pinky started to realize that she actually wasn’t taking proper care of WL (Don't look at me - I’m NOT the caregiving type), and some of the drugs that she needs aren’t the kind of stuff that ordinary people can administer at home. Anyway, after a lot of soul searching and research, Pinky finally decided to move WL to a nearby nursing home. It's a really nice nursing home with lots of trees and stuff, and Pinky will be visiting her every day. It's a big change though, and Pinky's still feeling very sad.
Me, though, I just think this a good decision. Wheelchair Lady will get the higher level of care she needs, and Pinky will be able to return to working on Pinky Show stuff. Which is what I think Pinky's real contribution in this lifetime is supposed to be.
