Find Care & Housing
BEWARE! I was My Grandmothers favorite for 91 yrs, we were always very close, she was only 41 when I was born. She asked me to live with her so she may avoid a care home, she was ok at the time though used a walker she could be alone for awhile in the day and could wash clothes etc, However Feb 2011 She was prescribed Pradaxa and our lives were ruined. She could not shop or go out, was always weak and tired and anemic and all joy left her world.
She became a person I never saw before and I was trying as hard as I could to not fall victim to it but she started lying to everyone about me however would use me 24-7 leading me of a fiscal cliff knowingly , she had over $2 million and gave it to y Sister who did not invite her to her wedding and a daughter I have in LA that was constantly asking for help and got the inheritance I slaved for and my girlfriend for 4 yrs. My girlfriend had to hand bathe her as she could not use the tub and would not fix the bathroom to be compatible, imposed upon her every 4 hrs 24-7 to go pee ad was able to wipe herself well an peed her bed every morning. Only to learn she grew to disdain me to the point of running my life purposely forever altering my future for being there for her to the end!

Nobody ever told me or cared until she was dying then they came and stole her away hiding her from me leaving me high and dry and as if I was a mooch and thief! and now fighting in Probate and a 50 50 shot I get 50% of my money if lucky!The lawyers and tax people all work it to their advantage by dragging it out fighting all the way.

Hang in there. My 92 year old MIL was doing this all the time. Lying, making excuses, arguing was a direct result of covering up for her declining health. It was a very very bad game that she was playing and it really put my husband in a bad way. She would not tell the Dr. anything, nor would she allow my husband to go in with her to discuss her symptoms. Long story short, she fell, fractured two bones, hospital determined she had dementia, and they put her on medication for it and anxiety. She is now in long term care--doesn't like it but she is safe. Medication has calmed her down. We realized she has had dementia for years, she covered it up unbelievably, but would not get help. I have gone to dementia meetings thru the hospital for information and they are a wonderful support. Find a caregivers support group also. Hire-if able-someone so you can go. Also hire thru a reputable source-Home Health Care, thru the hospital or elder care services a reputable home health aid to give yourself a break. Remember to take care of you, no one else will do as go a job in taking care of you. Take care.
