*le sigh*
Mom had a doctors apointment last month. She had a fit in front of the social worker, and then in front of the doctor himself. We've been trying to put her in a home for a couple months now, because we couldn't take care of her. Her choking after every meal etc was becomming hazardous, especially because my brother and I have started school again, we were afraid that something would happen during the day and we wouldn't be there to take care of her. For that reason, the doctor told dad to go to the emergency room, and after waiting there for over 5 hours they sent her home, and even ignored the couple notes the doctor had sent with dad. A week went by and the doctor was trying to plan a date for them to put mother in the hospital, then move her to a home after they had gotten approximatly the right dose of mothers medicine for her. Dad's insurance kept turning him down, even after the doctor had written an appeal to them a couple times, finally the doctor said that they would do it for free if they had to. The social worker, whom my family is very close with now because of the group meetings, got on the phone and set the lady straight about the disease, the lady whom said she knew everything about the disease was finally at a loss for words after the social worker and the doctor talked to her. They finally acccepted mom into the hospital. She was there for about a week. She's been in a home now for a couple weeks, enjoying herself, so that I'm happy about. The nurses there spoil her, the place even has it's own hair stylist and nail person that comes! Her first night there they had a luau (Thanks Narrator! XD).
It's been a rough month for my family. My dad comes up to me almost every day, giving me a hug, then he starts crying because he misses his other half. I miss the old days when I was little and mom was so carefree...
