ravena_kadeThe cousins are disintegrating.
I received a call from the younger bitchy sister. She asked if we could come over. She was upset.
We headed over and I found lead cousin crying in her car. Things are getting worse. She is sick and is having muscle spasms. Her Doctor said that things were too much for her and prescribed sleeping pills so she can rest, but she can't take them because she needs to be alert for her 2 sisters and her Mother.
It turns out stroke cousin is refusing to do of her PT. If she refuses again then they will no longer come to the house. She is refusing to get dressed and refusing to get out of bed on her own. She is refusing to speak to a therapist to help with her mental state. The only thing she did do is tell the therapist that she is not allowed to watch what she wants on TV. The therapist called the lead cousin. It turns out that stroke cousin likes to watch some loud crass sports talk show on cable at the same time the Mom is out of her room and watching TV. The 96 year olds choice of TV is either something religious or a British cozy mystery. Stroke cousin doesn't believe that the 96 year old should get a choice. Ummm it's her house.
Stroke cousin has also said that she believes that the Mom should be put in a nursing home so that she can be looked after better. Her PT person said to her that she is lucky that her sisters opened up their home so she can recover, but that they are not servants. Oh My.
The therapist had her outside and suggested that they walk on the grass. Stroke cousin started screaming that she was sinking in the grass and would swallowed by the ground.
Fucking sad.
I asked lead cousin if her sister's PT was preparing her for independent living? She said yes, when it isn't being refused. The thing she needs to do is get out of bed on her own. Once she can get up on her own and get to the bathroom she can be left alone. Maybe even take her to her house so she can spend a day there. Lead cousin said that friends suggested that, but stroke cousin said if she went to her house she would be depressed and she doesn't think she wants to ever leave where she is.
She can't stay. I suggested giving her until July, then have her put her name into elderly housing here in the city. It may take 2 or 3 years for something to come up, but once she can walk around on her own she can go back to her apartment. Disabled people can live by themselves. All of her friends would visit. Family can visit. She can also have a personal care attendant if she is disabled. My friends in housing can help with this.
