Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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!
What the hell is wrong with people?
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?
Not me, Typo; Juliebird.
Julie, since you're closer, maybe you could help arrange for home health care and an occasional cleaning service instead.
Zen, caught error immedialy and corrected before you posted.
was the attacker at the bookstore on bath salts?
I did not know you could get a concussion from getting hit over the head with an HP book!
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....
In moving news, the lady at the bookstore today said they can't give me any boxes, which, WTF, but I got four from a shoe store, and have packed one of them. Progress!
My dad's a special kind of jerk. He's an absent-minded professor who only remembers to send his mom's flowers because of my mom nagging him. He had blithely left Long Island at the appointed time after learning that his brother had transfered 40,000 out of their mom's bank account and didn't think another thing of it. He's oblivious and has no agenda, unless it's his church, in which he forsakes everything, including family. But he isn't a man with an agenda or an angle. He may guilt me into believing a situation is my fault, but it's not his modus operandi to maneuver me into offering my assistance. He knows I hate his mother, he knows why. He chooses to forget that and ignore that it's even an issue. Which also means never bringing up my helping him, lest that come to light and having to be acknowledged.
Sorry, Typo!
Move along, future readers of the thread. There was nothing to see.
