Still in a mood. I have anxiety and I am also depressed...

Did the cousin thing today and helped take down the dining room table to make the room a recovery room. Offered to help I other ways and was snapped at. Fine. I give up. Call if you need me.

I know I am not a total bitch as I am watching Karma hit the cousins hard and there is no joy in it.

I asked about the sister's prognosis. I said that I saw a cognitive disconnect when we visited the rehab last week. I thought that only movement was compromised. Well the cousins are not telling people that the stroke has caused other brain damage. (WHY? WTF), but the doctors think she will recover enough to live on her own and drive. Right now she can walk up a few steps and get out of bed on her own. The bad is that the stroke affected her bladder and bowel control. Sad. Very Sad. My thing is that just how does my lead cousin with a bad back full time work at home job plus being a caregiver to the sister with cancer and the 95 year old mother who is showing constant signs of dementia supposed to care for a 385 pound sibling with mobility, cognative and toileting issues. This is INSANE.

Now walking away sounds logical, but this nit house is where my Dad wants to be. Sigh.

I also really am still upset about Friday at work. It's me. I know. But just how valuable is the job at the hospital for my Dad going t be if I am totally underpaid and unhappy? I really dont want to take work home if none of my efforts will ever be recognized.

The UK has the same issues with people needing social help that don't need hospitalisation. All too many relatives and often kids being lumbered with all the care needs.

You are good person, and at a point you will need to find what that entails, I understand the financial yoke.
