Hi Elliot,

I certainly can't speak to everyone's experience but my experience ran

rather smoothly. Perhaps it has to do with my living in Toronto, Canada

(different countries have different approaches to providing care), the

individuals involved in supplying the information or that I am not

caregiving from a distance.

Even thought my sister (a lawyer) has POA I was able to get all the

paperwork well in advance of my mother's first appointment, filled in

all the paperwork, worked with my mom's doctor to have his portion

filled out and then booked all the appointments to have my mother

plugged into the system. I attended any and all the meetings and in the

end told my sister where to sign. It worked out and I was happy to

help. I'm sorry to hear that this has not been the case for you.

Also, please don't worry overmuch about your MIL's lack of manners.

What I wouldn't give to see my mother hold a sandwich (without a plate

underneath) and bring it up to her own mouth.

Courage
