Anyone dealing with an aging relative?

[Tyrone Biggums]

Very sorry to see this. I had a weird feeling when we drove by and saw the cars out front and a couple of people sitting out on the walkway. I know this week won't be easy. Let me know if you need anything. I'm off this week and will be around the house. Even if it's just to drink a beer or two in silence. Good vibes sent.

Sorry, dude. That really sucks.

My condolences. Prayers to your family

I had found my dad a new place that we researched and liked. He was scheduled to move this past Monday. I was called from Oakwood that he had fallen and was being transported to ER with head injury the same day. He took a turn for the worst this weekend and had to make the toughest decision of my life today to remove respiratory and let him go. A dose of morphine for his comfort and 15 minutes later he went peacefully to meet my mom- rip 'pops'

Damn man. Very sorry to hear that. At least he's in a better place now.

Man, that's rough. Sorry to hear it.

I am so sorry. RIP.

Sorry to hear that. Just never know.

A couple weeks back I was texting with my buddy Rick and 30 minutes later he had a massive heart attack and died. 52 fucking years old. He was supposed to come to my shop to check out a hotrod we were working on and I kept texting him later that morning but no response. My phone rang and I saw it was him so I answered "Hey butt-head!" and it was his daughter calling me to say he just died.


I still haven't found a full solution for my grandmother yet. She called yesterday to tell me Aunt Angie and Nana haven't come back yet. I didn't remind her they dies a couple decades ago. She then sounds perfectly lucid "I just want to shoot myself in the head! But everything's good and I am fine. I should just hop in the truck and go get drunk." says the woman that has never tasted anything other than cooking wine. HTF am I supposed to respond to that? Knowing she would forget about this conversation in 2 minutes I almost gave her directions to the bar.
I keep going out there every weekend but that's not enough. Tried around to a few places for home health service and the cost is beyond my abilities. Looks like the homes that would take the social security are just scum holes or leftover humans and while I may never forgive her I don't want her to endure such things.

I really thought I would be dead by 40 and not have to deal with this kind of crap. Well I turned 40 less than a week ago and seem to be unkillable.

Write down directions to the bar for her, a DUI would solve the situation.

Thanks for all the nice words, support and prayers. After my eulogy to my dad I had asked if anyone wanted to stand or talk about my dad. So many did and I found a few things about my dad I didn't know. All confirmed what a great and generous man he was.
That was very cool.

And on that note I just got a call from Navarro Sherrifs office that she lost her shit, tried to break into someones home and is now at the hospital. Shes not hurt, just confused. Waiting on a friend to show up so I can go to Fairfield (why shes there I have no clue) to gt her and then find her truck and get her back to the house and then..... i just dont fucking know.

I need to locate a relative that would take care of her. Hes located in Colorado, I think Colorado Springs. I have no contact info. He should be 42 and his name is Salvatorio Branski but goes by Sam. Hes wanted to move out and take care of her but i lost contact info for him.

Found her, found the truck. Hospital says good health but is senile. Got her home and realized the reasong the TV wasnt working was non payment. So got that paid so she has some entertainment. Apparently shes been watching the Direct TV commercial channel for a few weeks. Also appears her house will be taken away in 5 days unless i cough up $6000. So nursing home it is!
