My So-Called Life

[la_samtyr]

Great. Now my *cousins* are calling me, asking me what's going on w/aunt and uncle and burning up time like crazy. Gah. I really do not know what to say because they are so damned quiet and downright secretive about things. When I was there Friday, they gave every indication that they intended to stay for at least another week. Yesterday, they sounded as if they still planned to stay there for another week but w/more serious plans to go into a nursing home. Today, after I finished talking to my aunt, she says they are going into the nursing home *tomorrow*, no question at all. I mean, seriously, WTF?? And I am somehow supposed to keep on top of things? How, may I ask? They have been lucky in a lot of ways but at the same time, they have been together for over sixty years, no kids: they have been spoiled for too long and had their way for too long -- which means they have no idea how to "bend" or communicate with family members about *anything*.

Tomorrow I get to visit them at the nursing home. Yay. I also get to meet w/an attorney.

Off to take a nap, or something. And then I wonder why I can't sleep.

well if they don't go soon, the family might have to cut them off a little to get them to yield.

No, my uncle is 88 and my aunt 95 -- it's *very* unlikely they will change now.
