The Mom Front

[susandennis]

Well the latest report isn't that good. Bill says Mom is pretty disoriented and keeps getting confused. She apparently walked to the bathroom but with a whole lotta help. And she's not eating. He says she's not going to be able to be on her own.

My sister has offered to come. This is a biggie. She never offers unless there is something in it for her but she has now. And, actually, she might not be a bad one to have there. She's a nosey bitch who will make the life of anyone who does not do her bidding a living hell. She's particularly menacing with medical people. As a result she makes a rather good advocate for someone who can't advocate for herself.

I actually could go but I don't want to. I hate dealing with medical stuff. I don't want to see Mom all confused. I just don't want to do it. I have my strengths and none of them get near this situation.

So... I don't know. I'm prepared for her to die. I really am. I've been working on that one for a while. I'm not prepared for her to not be able to take care of herself. I don't know how to handle that.
