Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Courage when it became apparent to my sister and me that it was unsafe for Mom to continue living alone we placed her into retirement living against her wishes. She was in the hospital after one of her passing out seizure like spells where she stopped breathing and turned blue, then simply started breathing again. I did not have to use POA, as we simply had the doctor tell her he would discharge her, but not to her apartment. He was the one who told her she needed AL and that was that. Also that way she could not blame us for needing to leave her home. She tried a few times but we were able to say it was the doctor's decision. > > Hi Ron, > Reading your post made me think of something. I'm going ASSume that you have POA so I'm just wondering if your brother would have been able to put your mom in a NH?? Since I didn't have POA I don't know the answer to this question. Can anyone put a LO into a NH or must it be the POA only? > Courage > > another chaotic week > > > Hello everyone, > Im sorry for the lack of posting.Seems as if every week gets a little crazier.Last Monday mom was convinced that I was a bad guy.She had my siblings all against me and everyone exept my sister whose here every day and knows better stepped in and said that it would be best for me to leave.So that I did, with no where else to go I moved in with my girlfriend.My car wouldnt start, I had to leave some of my belongings and left with nothing but uncertainty. > The second day gone I was told that if I bring my girlfiend back there that my brother was calling the law.The last 4 or 5 weeks its been just me my girlfriend and sister caring for mom.But I stayed away because I knew me nor my girlfriend could bail me out of jail if I ripped my brothers head off like I wanted to.The second night at my girlfriends house she went to work and my phone started ringing.Each of my siblings exept my sister called begging me to come back.Seems everyone had a turn caring for mom in two days and noone could do it.I said no and told them to go to hell at first but then I heard that my brother was going to have to call the nursing home.So I knew I couldnt turn away at that point and agreed to come back.Im back now and things with mom are better.But I will never ever forget how my siblings treated me this past week.Its a cinch that I dont take from mom because if I did I would have something left of value.I once had my own place, 2 cars a 16 ft bass > tracker, and lived pretty much a carefree life, now I am here 24 hours a day and doing well to bring in enough of my own money to pay my weight.I hate my siblings outside of my sis and will never forgive them.The one time they rose to the occasion for my mom was the one time she said something bad about me.Then they were swarming like vultures.I dont blame my mom because I know this disease and I know if she were completely well shed trust me.But none of them bastards have lbd.And there so stupid they dont even know that lbd can make you think and say these things.Now it will go back to just me and sis and my girlfriend caring for her again Im sure.They all are terrified tocome around after seeing her condition and living it for a while.I love my mom but will never feel anything for them again.Thank you all for listening Ron > > RON > > --------------------------------- > Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
