Remember the crazy fundies who said that Katrina was punishment for NO's decadence? What is GAWD punishing the repubs for?

So.
S's health has been taking a slow turn for the worse since she came back from Texas.
As of this morning, it's looking very, very likely that I will have to go through the whole trip to the ER, followed by anxious days and nights while they try and stabilize her in the hospital thing one more time before I move out. She's very lethargic, is falling down and having serious problems walking around, and has been showing signs of electrolyte imbalance for a couple of days.
As per usual when she deteriorates to this condition, she gets very surly about denying her condition and her need to be in a hospital, which usually results in her not going in to the hospital until her condition has become dire. She's also being very resistant to the idea of going in to the hospital before tuesday (or monday at the earliest), she she doesn't get an enormous, ridiculous bill for Share of Cost for the month of August.
I'm sure I won't be able to get her in to a hospital before Monday.
I really can't go through this any more, but I will because it needs doing. It just makes me feel that much crappier about leaving. She can't live on her own. She needs somebody to take care of her, but I can't do it any more.

Ugh Sean, I'm so sorry you have to go through this again.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sean, I'm so, so sorry that you have to go through this right now, and I'm also furious that S has to worry about having to pay in order to live healthily.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
{{{Sean}}} I'm so sorry you're going through this. This is truly an incredibly difficult thing to go through, even in relationships that have been intact and strong for 20 years.
Where do her parents/family live? Are they close? Can they step in somehow? Any other friends?
I also want to say that the first person who needs to take care of her is her. If she's not willing to take responsibility for her own health and well-being, there's no way anyone else can do it. I know that doesn't make it easier to see someone you care about suffer, and this probably only adds to the feelings of helplessness, but the fact of the matter is that you can't help her until she's willing to be a part of it, too.
