get off at the freeway
Apr. 22nd, 2023 07:19 pmToday is the definition of roller-coaster. Unfortunately this is like the 2nd or 3rd time in 2023 I have started a post that way. It's no wonder I have a headache all the time.
I was looking forward to a slack shift on the miniature train due to rain . I was saddled with Kerson The Meathead so I knew even if it was slow there would be no sparkling conversation. The rains were on/off but never enough to shut us down. Then came 5 o'clock and the proverbial opening of the skies. Nickle-Less radioed us and told us to shut'er down. We blasted through the closing duties and as I waited for Nick to come sign us off, I hopped on the interwebs (I usually turn off the WIFI as it drains my old ass battery. I only drop in if I am expecting correspondence. Lawyers, etc). I saw there is a text from Da Olda Sista.
"Just got a call from The Unhappiest Place In America and they said Mom is not eating at all. The lady said she was gonna Hopsice."
The next message was a copy of that. It was marked at 1:40 pm. I immediately texted her back (5:10PM) to see "what the eff??!!!?"
Did they tell you last time she ate? No.
Did you call Younga (who is the Guardian of the Person)? I thought I did. Then I saw I texted you twice by mistake.
What other info did Unhappiest give you? Not much. She hung up quickly.
Did you effing call back? No,
JFC. Are you kidding me? The effing joint calls to say Mom is going to go on Hospice and you still cannot call your goddamn sister? No follow up at all?
I called Younga the minute I got home. In the time it took me to get home Olda sent Younga a text and Younga called Unhappiest to get shit straight. (If you ever have some sort of conflict to face, call her. I honestly think she enjoys conflict). Jumping ahead in the story for a moment....I texted Olda an hour after I called and spoke with Younga to ask if she had gotten up with her. Nope. I explained to her what the situation was and she was relieved. But apparently not concerned enough to actually call her sister. I am soooooooooooooooooooooo tired of the horseshit with these 2. I thought maybe Mom's Alz would bring these 2 somewhat together a but I was wrong. I have an idea of the issue between them but I do not give a good goddamn. I am not going to point fingers at who did what or needs to fix things but grow the eff up. I am tired of having be the goddamn intermediary between these 2.
Anyway.....the person who called Da Olda was a nimrod (as has been damn near every one who has called us.) Firstly, Olda should NEVER had gotten the call. Since day one we have been trying to get them to understand she handles the money and Younga handles the medical. 2 mofo'n years and they STILL fuck it up. After Younga called we got the actual story.
Lucy's food intake was down 25%.
There ya go. Her intake was a little less than normal. Is that the same as "she is not eating at all and we are calling hospice"? I hardly think so. They did not give us a time period, either. In theory she could have been eating less at every meal since last visited, or she simply did not finish dinner yesterday. It was never notated AAAAAANNDD there were absolutely ZERO notes in her file about Hospice. I swear to God, Rod and Todd the people working in the memory care center are more brain dead as they people they oversee.
