What she wants is to have her life the way it was back before her health declined, but we both know there isn't any cure for old age.I'm not clear on whether or not you are taking turns staying with her or that is just her desire, if you are then you are the ones enabling her. Why should she make changes when she can get you all to dance to her tune?
As for her eyes, I assume you are talking about injections to treat her AMD? Sometimes you just have to live with the side effects of treatment because the only other option would be to not treat at all. I know that my sister's eye drops for another condition leave her looking like n addict, but it's better that going blind.
Is she getting any treatment for her aches and pains? It is certainly possible to be in pain while you sleep, as a result your sleep is disrupted and you wake up feeling like c**p. If she isn't getting any relief from over the counter pain meds like ibuprofen or tylenol then she may need something stronger, or she may benefit from analgesic creams or from alternative therapies like chiropractic or acupuncture.
