Today's Chinese food was really good. The time spent with the cousins was very very emotional and screamy.

I was filled in on the stroke cousin's situation. She has been scammed out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Her bank accounts are overdrawn. She may only have a $15000 annuity left and social security.

She has not paid her rent in 2 months and her health insurance in 4 months. The sisters paid those.

I went to amazon and ordered her some of the undergarments she needs and called DQ to see if she could find 2x undergarments in her elder housing building...when people move out or pass away the often leave items in the common room for others to use. DQ found 2 cases.

There were several text conversations on her phone with scammers. The texts go back to Christmas time and she even gave the scammers her social security number. I read them OMG. Yesterday the sisters went to the police department to report the scam and as the detective read the texts he had his hands on his head and was saying NO NO NO NO NO... Since she gave it all away and was still her own guardian she probably won't get anything back.

Since we are getting a huge blizzard one of stroke cousin's church friends drove her to her sisters house to stay until after the storm. They are afraid that if she looses power that her Home Alone Alert bracelet will not work .

I think her sisters will do their best to get her into housing and set up at the assisted living place so she will have a place to live and food... and then not be around her at all except for Dr appointments.

Once my Dad is settled I will just try and be a friend.

There is no level of hell deep enough, hot enough, cold enough, painful enough, for these scammers that target the elderly.

and she even gave the scammers her social security number.
