Yikes, Jesse. So sad. The one thing I was grateful for with Mom was that she wasn't mobile, really, so not at risk for wandering.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Oh Jesse. I'm so sorry that this is what you and your mom are dealing with.

oh man, so hard Jesse. But yes sad thing to learn that if someone feds psych care it is best that they act like they need it while at the hospital. Hardest parts of visiting mac last time he was in (I hope the last time he is ever in) was pushing him to rage while with the therapist. He would put on such a good front.

Oh Jesse, how hard. But it sounds like the right path forward.

Because books.
Oh, Jesse, that's hard. But like you said, it's good that the doctors were able to see him that way, too. I hope your mom's okay -- this will be a big adjustment for her, too.

ION, I have sushi for dinner.
IOON, my sister received her lease payment check. $15,000! Whoo hoo! The company is going to be sending me a form I have to return before they send me the check. Boo!!! I owe thousands to the IRS in a week and a half, people! You couldn't have sent me this form weeks ago?

$15K? That's awesome, Connie!
I LOVE Ross for dresses. They have an enormous selection
Yes, but for some reason, TJ Maxx and Marshalls are perfectly fine, but Ross is always super sketchy, kinda dirty, and has security guards all over the place. I have no idea why the difference.
Jesse, so sorry. Had they already looked at nursing homes for the future, and just didn't expect it quite yet?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Our Ross is brand new, so although it has the same security guard vibe, it hasn't had time to get sketchy yet. I prefer TJ Maxx, but we don't have one.

Aw Jesse. I'm glad he's getting care.

I hate Ross. It's disorganized, overly crowded and filled with hateful people. Marshalls blessedly arranges Chidren's shoes (my main discount retailer purchase) in a way that is both aesthetically pleasing and easy to shop.
