Okay, I see. If I were you, I'd offer to go, because filial duty blahblah obligation guiltcakes. As you said, not for her, but for your dad. And encourage him to get her in a safe place asap. Not a good situation. Good ~ma to both of you!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Whoa. Although the gift card and the date aren't a bad ending, but seriously, a concussion? Wow.

Would volunteering to take some of the load slow down the process getting her into a nursing home? Cause you were the one who said that even though you love him, your Dad is a jerk. Is he the kind of jerk who might respond that way?
Also for people who want to decide which facebook posts they see rather than let facebook decide - use Social Fixer!

In that case, I'd say what's wrong is, she forgot to take her meds. Ever.
Damn, if a bookstore isn't safe, where can you go?

Julie, since you're closer, maybe you could help arrange for home health care and an occasional cleaning service instead.

I did not know you could get a concussion from getting hit over the head with an HP book!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know all the deets of why my dad has to go down every time, other than her medicare running out if the hospital decides to keep her longer when they have no idea why she's there or have no means to aid her. Even getting her into a rehab for her tailbone will take time.
I will note that my understanding is that Medicare rehab benefits are better if you go to rehab straight from the hospital. So if it's at all feasible (and make sure this is true?), try to line up the rehab to be ready to admit her after she's called the ambulance....
