Guest guest Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Just as we were accepting that my father has LBD, my mom springs another on us. She claims that a doctor she never saw visited my Dad on Friday evening and told him to get out of his wheelchair and walk with his walker. This he can do. He then told my Dad to walk unassisted and even run. My mom claimed he did this. None of us believed her. This doctor even stated that my Dad may not even have LBD. I didn't believe a word she said until I spoke with my Dad who confirmed all of the above. My mom calls it a miracle that she has been praying for. I call it mis-diagnosis and mis-treatment for years. Or better yet, malpractice. I don't know if I should be angry or happy. Funny how things seem to magically workout when my mom is threatened with having to actually have a responsibility in her life like working. I am so angry with her right now that I don't even look forward to seeing her tonight at a family function. It won't be about the birthday girl or the fact that she is a big sister to a new baby. It will be all about her, " poor Madeline " as I refer to her. Or morbid Madeline. Both describe her perfectly. She is a compulsive liar and hit is hard to listen to her speak when it has to be all about her and not the one who really needs the attention. She doesn't even get out of bed until noon now that Dad is in a home. No responsibilities and she gets up at noon and doesn't see my Dad until 6pm-8pm each night. She stays up until about 2am reading. Must be nice. No children, spouse, job. No responsibilities. Doesn't even clean the house. Now you can see why I don't care to go to her place. Sorry to be so Mean!! This is my life in a nutshell. Very disfunctional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
