I left work at 9:30 am and it is a 5 min drive to the hospital we didnt leave till 11:00. I drove her past the apartment i am hopeing she will agree to move into (it will be closer to my work and to my daughter's house) so we can get to her on a daily basis which she really needs. she get's confused on her meds so I try to keep the pill boxes filled for her and also try to keep her syringes filled with insulin because she dosent see very well to fill them herself. The hospital said someone would call me about makeing arrangement's to have mom evaluated (sp) to have someone come in and help her but no phone call yet, which means i will probably have to take another day off work to be there when they do come (if they come).
why is it so hard to find help, you either have to be dead broke or richer than snot to get help if your in between your just sh$% out of luck until you have spent all of your money . mom is by far not a wealthy woman but she gets by and i have been trying to talk her into doing somethings with the money she does have so that the goverment doesent end up takeing it all but she is at the point where she dosent know how she will live if she dosent keep every penny she has , she went through the same thing with her parents , I've told my kids they dont have to worry about that because with our generation there wont be any money to do anything with lol.
thanks again for listening to me.
