Welcome back!

The breach in the family has been mended.

My husband went into talk to his brother, I stayed out in the van. They talked and the misunderstanding was talked about and things were mended.

At this time, knowing the grief to come (it has been edging in anyway), it is very important that there be no bad thoughts or feelings between all family members.

My husband and his brother were raised together and each is their own person with their own ways. I am very glad that things have been straightened out. Thank God for His mercy.

I have a feeling that I am gonna need someone like a Brooklyn Accident Attorney, or even a good defense attorney.

My brother-in-law, who shall remain outside of my home and other places has decided that he is going to be a pain in the assets. Just for my thought alone, I might need that attorney. Let me just say that they are not to be made out loud.

Mom’s bills have been something that I have had to take care or for a while now (make that months), since she kept forgetting them. I would come over to her apartment, make out the checks, sign, and then mail them to make sure the bills were paid.

Because of her going into the hospice, the thought that her account might get frozen at the time of her death, I got out a big portion of what she had in there. I left enough to take care of the bills that would come out by automatic draft. I have paid out quite a lot of that money for her bills and I thank God that I have receipts for them. Dearest brother-in-law all of a sudden decided that he wants to keep track of her money and did not even ask why this was done and jumped to bad ideas. The money that has not been spent on her needs, bills, and expenses will be put back in tomorrow. Let him take care of her checking account and her bills, NOW.

I am very glad to let him have the hassle, and to wash my hands of him and other things. We will still try to keep contact with her in spite of HIM. I actually wish him luck in dealing with the financial end. I will not sign any more of her checks for her. He can take care of it.

5-18-11UPDATE He apologized to my husband, not to the one accused of being the thief. He has refused to handle the account, so I am stuck with it. Mom does not need any drama right now, I am keeping my peace. It is very tough and emotionally draining. I am trying to support my husband through this pain of loss, and trying to keep things in order. I feel that I have aged considerably in the last few weeks.

After what we have been going through with my husband’s mom, I realize that there are some important things that need to be looked after.

Good Medicare part D plans should have allowances for special conditions, or for special care that might be needed.

I never realized just how much could be involved with hospice care, or what some call final care for an elderly person. Even if you think that you are prepared, you will be surprised by what comes up in conversation with the health care people.

It has been a week.

Some has changed. Mom is still located at the hospice, but they no longer think she fits the profile in order to stay.

She will be with us a little longer. I just have no idea just where she will be staying. I know that she wants to be at home, but that is not possible right now, or even later. I don’t know what will happen. I am glad that she is better.

As I sit here an type on my keyboard…it hurts.

I realize that she will not be here too much longer. They only put you into hospice when the hospital is unable to improve you condition any more. At time when I think about it it feels as if band saw blades are cutting me in half.

I try not to let my feelings show too much as I do not want to make my husband hurt more than he already is. At times I find myself crying and trying to be silent. I know that she will not feel any pain in Heaven. I still will miss her greatly.

There were times that she could be imprudent or difficult. She is after all a human being. We have for a long time proved that humans can be weird. Animals are actually not as weird as we are. I guess that all of this is just part of the human condition after all.

My husband and I are finding out some things about hospice care.

His mother is dying because of her kidney and heart troubles. She knows Jesus, so we have peace about where she will go. We are learning how to let go of her, though. She has been living with a lot of pain and is at peace with her future passing.

I am not sure how many people can say that. I just know that I will miss her. She is my MOTHER-IN-LAW, but she has love and will be missed.

Right now I am glad that I do not have to apply for any personal loans. My brain is not functioning the way that it should since I am having trouble concentrating.

Driving can also be a nightmare. My left eye has taken to wandering and i have to concentrate extra hard to keep it in proper alignment. I have tried to get my husband to drive, but he has been taking Vicaden for some seriour pain that he has right now.

It sounds as if we are a fine mess. That’s life.

Yes, I did use those words for the title.

This trouble that i have been having with shingles has been driving me to lala land. My face tingles, itches, aches, and is numb all at the same time.

I wish that it would make up its mind and pick one thing over all of them. UG

Spring is here, Summer is coming, and those with acne are getting the medicine that they want to get rid of that stuff.

I am overweight, the title of my blog tells it all. I have never had any trouble with acne however. I have had trouble with the blisters from shingles, but that is not the same thing.

I remember high school. I remember kids who had trouble with acne. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
