Dementia is a THRIFTY state of being!
So my significant other came home last night. I had arranged a trip to Colorado for him to help out our 24 year old son. Tiling, spackling...a brake job. I stayed home to care for HIS Mom. I was way too pissed off to hear/see him. Red wine does that to me. I am Holy Hell on wheels if I've had red wine. He had NOT done the 2-3 things I had implored him to do, with repercussions.
So here is my current threat. I will find an apartment in the spring and move out. I can hardly kick the 92 year old MIL to the curb. His siblings are 1000% worthless! They want financial information. Shit, we didn't get that when she was 1 day from being totally un-cared for. Guess I could have called Dept of Elderly Services and reported her abandoned. I just thought that would be... like....unethical! HELLO!!?? Do you leave a 92 year old alone just to get some cha-ching? Gag me!
The good news is that she will read the same magazine 4-5 times in a single day. So dementia is a thrifty state of being. There is NO such thing as leftovers, it's totally new every night!!
