Grandma now has end-stage Alzheimer's and other bad news.
Went to spend a little time with Mom last week. She was complaining about having to watch Grandma on Saturdays now since she got "kicked out of daycare" for needing too much care.
Grandma attends a Alzheimer's "daycare" from 6:30 am (they pick her up) til 6:30pm (Mom picks her up at the center). It's open 6 days a week, so mom only had to watch grandma full time on Sundays. Because now it takes 2 people to help grandma to the bathroom and they only have 2 people working on Saturdays, gma has to stay home on the weekends. Of course this is "ruining" Mom's life.
Grandma is now in end-stage Alzheimer's. She sits in her chair and stares at the wall. She doesn't eat unless someone feeds her. She's been in diapers for over 2 years. Of course mom acts like gma is just being stuck up, while painting herself as a martyr. (Despite the fact that gma attends daycare 12 hours a day.)
Of course I feel terrible for gma because no one deserves a disease like this, and she was more of a mother to me then my own mother, at least until my cousins were born and then she forgot about me.
I really feel that gma needs to be in full-time care, however we can't afford it, and mom is fiercely against it. Apparently Uncle will throw a fit and demand mom sell the cottage if she is no longer the full-time caregiver. Mom thinks she will be homeless, forgetting that she owns another 4 bedroom 2000sf house. That's the house she moved out of so she wouldn't have to deal with my sister's behavior.
I was able to tell her how I felt about her behavior regarding my craft shows and that I would no longer be asking her for help. She was upset that she wouldn't be spending time with me anymore, but there's really nothing she can do about it.
I have a big show this weekend, and am hoping that I'll do well. Set-up and first day are tomorrow and it lasts until sunday night.
We're almost ready to put our house on the market. We're painting today and the new carpet is coming in tomorrow. We already have 75% of our storage space full.
Hubs wants to look at 5 more houses and I'm hoping we can find one we're both happy with. It'll be awesome to have my own sewing room.
Dad is pitching a fit about his apartment. The pipes under his building haven't been cleaned out in at least 40 years and they back up into his apartment. Right now he has raw sewage backing up into his apartment and mold already growing on the walls. He's throwing a fit because he's lived there for 22 years and they don't care about him. They've offered to move him into a new apartment, but there's no guarantee that the pipes won't back up again. He's complaining that moving is too much of a hassle. (Yes it's a pain in the butt!) However, he can't use any water in his apartment and the place reeks of sewage! I told him if I was in his shoes, I'd either be looking for a new apartment or a house to rent/buy. I think he's fishing to try to move in with us.
HAHAHAHAHAHA NO.

Her injuries left her spending a year in rehab, just learning to walk and take care of herself again.
