Good news, bad news

I found the damn key. I'd left it on the seat of my mom's car, when I was hastily moving both it and my rental out of the way of the movers. BIG SIGH OF RELIEF.

My mother has just, this morning, fired her current GP for disagreeing with her. That makes two. I predict she'll go through all the GPs in Indiana until she finds some quack who will assure her that everything is fine and all she needs is naturopathy.

We'll see what the lawyer says. I'm starting to believe that we will have to formally apply for legal guardianship. It takes work and money and possibly another trip to Indiana, but at least it will settle the legal and financial side once and for all. Our/Mom's lawyer had advised us in February that it was probably overkill. Turns out it wasn't.

BIG SIGH OF RELIEF.

I'm glad you found the key. More *hugs* for all the rest.

I'm glad you found the key, but SO MUCH SYMPATHY for all the rest.

Yay for finding the key, and really big sympathy eyes for the rest of it.

So relieved about the car key!!

It does seem that this would be safer for her.

I suggest you check on whether the legal guardian needs to/should be local. I almost had to do that for my father in Ohio (I'm in California) but...luckily, he died before it came to that.

Ugh. Good luck. I am eternally grateful that my sister has handled the heavy part of this burden for what my parents have so far needed (they moved into a senior living place a month ago, out of Indiana and to where my sister now is, South Carolina).

I hope everything else goes as well as it can for you. ❤️

Dealing with dementia is so damned hard. There are days my mom is with it, and days she thinks you can cook broccoli in the dishwasher.

Geez. Read your other post, too. I'm sorry I haven't been around much this week. I'm seeing Steve's parents go through this very thing with my MIL's parents, and...it sucks. I think they're going to have to get guardianship soon, because they're doing things like booking flights for other states. The doctors did a workup and said there's no reason they can't fly. Hell, MIL's mom didn't know who Steve and I were the past two times she's seen us. (And I've been with Steve for over 18 years.)
